My daughter has been really getting to me! Like yesterday we went out to eat and she wanted a candy that the restaurant had but I wanted her to eat her food because she can’t just eat candy all the time so I took the candy and hid it. She started literally bloody murder screening! She had everyone coming and checking on us like it was so embarrassing! If I tried to tell her to stop or to be quite she would cry louder. It got to the point where we had to get up and leave. I was pissed! And now she thinks it’s okay to do that anywhere we go! How do I fix this?

Ignore her , it may be embarrassing but it’s the only way to break it the more attention you give to her while she’s screaming the more she thinks she can get away with it

The way I got my daughter to stop, is to remove her from the situation. Can't behave during dinner? We leave. Middle of a grocery trip and you're acting up? We leave. And I'd tell her "we can't stay, because you aren't acting right." She LOVES going places, so leaving when she'd act out made her stop acting out. It was inconvenient to have dinner in front of us or a half full grocery cart and just have to walk away. But she doesn't do it anymore, so it paid off.

Everyone gave great advice. I know how embarrassing it can be when toddlers act out in public. I agree with ignoring it. Ds3 usually does this when he doesn't want to leave somewhere. S/o has the patience of a saint and helps so much.
Just remember most people aren't judging you, they're empathizing with you.😊
