When terror strikes in the supermarket, it's enough to make a grown man scream.
Steve recalls the first time Eva had a tantrum in the supermarket, and reflects on how he now deals with the dreaded weekly grocery shop.
If you're concerned about your child's behaviour, then it might be worth talking to your health visitor or GP.

It happens to all of us. The yelling. The screams. The tears. So when terror strikes in the supermarket, it's enough to make a grown man scream. What do you do? Steve as he comes face-to-face with… 'Tantrum Terror!' Please have mercy…
Steve
I the first time. I should've thought it through.
Eva
Just brilliant. Can't you see I'm trying to sleep here?
Steve
But, I was in a hurry…
Eva
Hey, slow down boy racer! "Anana!" How am I meant to eat them, if I can't even reach them? Think, man!
Steve
I guess I wasn't paying her enough attention.
Eva
Hmm, let's see you try to pick these up. Ha! It's is a drive-by egging! Ooh, leaving the scene of a crime? Bad Daddy! Let's try this. Usually works. "Dada! Dada!"
Steve
Shh, Eva!
Eva
Are you kidding me? You're gonna regret that. Let's see how you like this… (SCREAMS)
SUPERMARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
"Dad of a terrible two-year-old, in way over his head: Aisle Five."
Eva
The phone again? Maybe you'll pay more attention to this… (SCREAMS)
Steve
That's it. I'm off. Laters!
SUPERMARKET ANNOUNCEMENT:
"Tantrum imminent in Aisle Four. That's tantrum imminent in Aisle Four."
Eva
How dare you… Okay, you asked for this… (SCREAMS)
Steve
Sound advice is to let the tantrum play out. I didn't do that. I learnt the hard way… But that was then. This is now.
Steve
"Okay, see you later!"
When I need to wake her. I do it gently. "Hey, Sleepyhead. Ready to go shopping? Is bear coming too">
