It’s not hard to be a good parent. Too many people are just lazy. We raised 5 and all of them were well-behaved in public. When they were very young like this one was, then one of us took him/her outside until we could calm them down. You just have to engage them.

Speaking of electronic parenting, I once saw a responsible looking couple with two well-behaved children (around 4-6) that were each supplied with huge tablets with adapters that mounted to a table edge and placed the screen directly in front of them. It was scary. As soon as they sat down the children sat silently until each tablet was mounted for them and then they began poking and swiping. They were absolutely brain washed. Then, of course, each parent pulled out their cell phone. An entire family sitting down to eat and no one was speaking.
