What is wrong with someone shouting at your child?
Well, I suppose that they could get shouted at for doing something quite petty and something that we, the parent, may overlook, and the child might get upset and scared.
And what would that do to the child?
The child would find that some adults are petty minded, mean and unpleasant people. In short some adults are best avoided because they are not very nice.
And isn't that what we try to teach them with Stranger Danger?
We are forever trying to drum it into our children to stay away from strangers because they don't know what kind of person they are. If children never get to see for themselves that not all grownups are nice then they will find the lesson harder to learn. Children need to develop a wariness of adults and if one shouts at them, it can only re-enforce the lesson and make it real.
Parents who say that they don't want other people to repremand their children because they want to discipline their children themselves because they are responsible, need to be responsible, 100% of the time. They need to watch and be aware of what their children are doing 100% of the time, not allowing them out of their sight and be ready to step in if their children are doing something that annoys other people. Even if it is something that they as parents don't mind, if it is annoying others, the parents need to stop their child from doing it.
These parents should not allow their children to run freely about a site and expect other campers to monitor behaviour and report it to parents. Do you really want fellow campers to be coming over to you telling tales on your children and expecting you go get up and go and find the child and tell it off? If you want to be responsible, BE responsible, 100% of the time.
Or just accept that very, very occassionly your children might do something silly or annoying and someone may get a bit cross with them. It is not a reflection of poor parenting or criticism of parenting skills if your child is not perfect all the time.
And your child will learn a valuable life lesson.
