Actress Natalie Portman was in the celebrity gossip news this week when her 1-year-old son Aleph had what the report called a “Major Meltdown” in a popular eatery in Los Angeles recently. Kudos to Natalie for handling it gracefully; she even offered to pick up the check for a few other tables close by before taking her meal to go. While I surely don’t think her paying for others meals was necessary, it was a very nice gesture.
Everyone has had this experience at some time, probably from both sides; as a mother and as another patron of the restaurant. No matter how careful you plan the baby’s nap or happy time, sometimes it just doesn’t work out. They aren’t feeling good or are just having an off day or their little schedule is off slightly….and they throw a huge fit that you can’t seem to calm. They scream and/or cry no matter what you do. It’s just what babies do.
Give us your go-to plans for this type of meltdown. How do you handle the situation when it’s your little darling that’s throwing a fit? Give us your best advice!
