toddler tantrums in public - any tips?

We've all been there, right? You're in the grocery store, trying to pick out the ripest avocados, and suddenly your little one decides it's the perfect moment to express their dissatisfaction with the universe at full volume. 😅 I had one of those moments last week, and wow, did I feel the heat of those judgmental stares! I tried distracting with snacks and toys, but nothing worked. Ended up just picking him up and heading out. What are your go-to strategies for handling these public meltdowns? Do you have a secret hack or do you just roll with it? Would love to hear how others manage. Let's share some stories and tips!
