Did you see that kitten!? It just ran under that isle!!' And get all excited. Straight away I would stop having my tantrum and start looking for this kitten! Every time. For the rest of the trip I was so busy looking for the kitten and if I ever lost enthusiasm she would go 'oh look! There It went! I just saw it again!'</p><p>It took me longer than I would like to admit to realise that there's not a plague of kittens wandering around every shop in my home town.</p><p>On the plus side I now use this trick with my nephews and friends kids when they start having a tantrum in public. I have yet to see a kid that this doesn't work on.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/flacedpenis" target="_blank">flacedpenis</a><span></span></p>1. Seasonal Toys?

It stopped me from begging for toys and also made me fairly immune to adds as an adult.</p><p>She also told me that certain toys, books, movies, and songs were 'seasonal' and you couldn't use or play them out of season. Which meant that she could rotate stuff every few months. Kept me more interested in my toys, and gave her a break.</p>
