I was having the best dream of my life until I heard this on the radio...

I was on an adventurous, 4 Wheel Drive highway romantic trip into the wilderness with my buddies until I woke up to some woman talking over the radio about child care. Well that just sucks.

That morning, the DJ decided to survey around and ask opinons on manhandling children when it comes to outdoor events. We all know how excited these junior punks can be when it comes to live footage of the world out, away from their cartoon fantasies. They scream, they run, they scream-cry if that's possible. And we, adults with a certain limit of hearing intensity level have limited patience of our own. So what can a parent do to shut them up before people start to doubt their parenting skills which would pose a threat to their already pilling socialising issues?

A lady of early 30's said when it comes to cases like this, treating children like young adults would be the best way to discipline them. In most cases, the reward system approach should be implemented to allow children to look forward to the trip again and behave at the same time to not cause much trouble to shoppers and parent. She also adds that sacrifices must be made sometimes if the child cannot be taken cared of properly.

Another man called up soon after to comment on that. Saying how kids should be given freedom to think and parents are there to guide them along the way only to cultivate creativity in them from a young age. And if given the reward system, and treating kids like adults, they should let them know everything instead of the silence treatment or a plain, "No,". But generally kids should be treated like kids and given a good childhood to enjoy instead of robbing them.

Personally, I get what the lady meant. Especially babies and cinemas. They don't go together, okay? Children I can tolerate; a first trip on cartoon to entice them. If they want something more than that, I'll let them go ahead and watch whatever takes them there but under moderation and watchful eye of the content.

Secondly, I've been treated like a kid all my life. Everything didn't have proper explaination sometimes and my childhood freedom to explore was robbed. So more than anyone, I believe the man had the best point of cultivating open-mindedness to allow children to build up their own creativity. Kids should be given the chance to explore things their own way and learn from them. It's, as he stressed on, all about learning experiences.
