You can call all the "bull feathers" you want. My daughter tried the tantrum crap ONE TIME. We were in a store, she wanted something, I told her no and she decided to throw herself on the floor and have a tantrum. Fine. I grabbed her by the ankle and pulled her along, continuing with my shopping and ignoring her tantrum. She was embarrassed enough to NEVER pull a tantrum again. Ever.
Turbulence???? They weren't even off the ground yet!
Did you drag her all the way home to your double wide?
At 2 years old she was embarrassed?? Pretty sure a two year old has no concept of public humiliation, much less to the extent where they would make the connection to future behaviour.
It could very well be that your daughter never threw tantrums, but attribute it to luck of the draw, not your stellar parenting. I was that sort of child - obedient, quiet, no tantrums, no running, nothing. You could put me down and leave me and I'd still be sitting there an hour later. My mom did nothing special to accomplish that, it was just my temperament, but she thought it was normal and assumed other kids who threw tantrums were badly parented. It wasn't till she had my sister, who was a much more typical, active kid, tantrums and all, that she realized it was just me that had been a non-typical child, nothing to do with her parenting.
