Three ways to stop your kid melting down in the shop over chocolate. Decide what you'll buy before you go. Tell them the rule before you walk in. Give them a shopping list so they help pick items, not just want them.
Oh no, I can't take my child into a shop because they have a meltdown for chocolate. What on earth do I do? Aha! Luckily, I have 3 solutions for you. Works brilliantly. Number 1: ahead of time, before you enter the shop, decide what you will and you won't buy. Best not to buy chocolate if you know it's going to cause a meltdown. Number 2: Tell your child before you go in what the rule is, what you will or you won't buy. And number 3, get them involved. Give them a little list, get them to put things in the trolley. It's a brilliant way to use positive discipline, chance to validate what they are doing to help you, and also a way to stick to your guns. If you like these ideas, follow me and tag a friend, and watch out for more on positive discipline. Works so well.
