All right, it can be one of the most awkward situations ever when you are in public and your child starts misbehaving.

It might be, you know, they're grabbing food and the and the treats there at the checkout

one time and I think I've shared this in a previous episode I had a meltdown it was

a full-blown meltdown and I was in the a full-blown meltdown and I was in the toilet paper aisle and paper goods aisle at the store and I just looked at this child took a step over them and went around the corner. I just kept going.

They were screaming their head off, and I had to withstand the withering gaze of people that

thought, who are you, and why did you do that? Do something with that child.

It's a long story. But you've been there. I know you've been there. I'm John Fuller joined

in the studio by Dr. Danny Werta. He leads our focus on the family parenting team.

And well, everybody else has been there, Danny,

because you are a doctor.

Oh, yeah.

You're a counselor.

You've never had anything like that. Have your kids ever done anything that embarrassed you in public?

Oh, never, of course not.

Yeah, let's move on.

That's right.

Yeah, I remember early on in my parenting, I mean there are plenty of stories there, John, but I was just remembering in particular the classic grocery store moments that we've all lived through and the your blood flows through to your head of

embarrassment knowing my kid is screaming everybody's looking and now the

stage is on it's like the lights are all on and you're ready to sing for everybody.

And so there's my son singing to the whole world crying actually and wanting something that he was really

hungry it was tired it's kind of those things that sometimes we drag our kids into

and I had to just call an audible in that moment.
