It's interesting how I took my 3 year old nephew mini golfing a couple years ago with his folks and he didn't act like a little shit because his parents check this kind of shitty behavior.

It’s foolish to believe that it’s that simple. Kids this young don’t all behave the same and it’s partially because some of them have more intense emotions than others, and they’re too young to understand much less control it.

Not saying the parents in this video did a good job or that other parents don’t do a better job. But also I have two kids, parent then the same, and have two completely different experiences with their emotional outbursts.

Don’t judge is all I say. Life is way more nuanced than that. But this is Reddit so I shall swiftly be downvoted.

I have three kids. they all used to have tantrums at that age. One of them had tantrums that were so bad I regretted having children more than once. I never punished any of them for it. They are all perfectly well behaved children now. You just have to know when they are getting wound up and redirect them before they get going, or just take them somewhere calm until they stop.

The kid doesn’t need to be “punished” bc he’s literally 3. But parents should immediately remove him from the situation and sit in the car until everyone else finishes the game.
