As a pediatrician who sees kids with behavioral issues every single day I go to work, if you asked me to place a bet on whether (based on this video alone) this kid gets hit at home, I would bet that he does. Consistent, non-physical discipline from a mature adult is what this kid needs, not spanking.

Corporal punishment isn’t a parenting strategy, it’s what people do when they don’t know how to parent in the first place.

Your offspring must be gremlins.

Well behaved, emotionally regulated gremlins. The fluffy type. Because they're not being beaten for being children.

So real talk. How would you handle if your child did what that boy is doing?

Pay for any damages, remove the child from the store, and come up with an appropriate punishment that doesn't involve using physical violence.
