Fart on them.
I shit you not, I once watched a lady talking to the information desk at an art museum about a membership with a toddler. The kid started getting antsy, and didn't listen after she told them to stop trying to run away. She had the kid lay down on their stomach, and she very gently put her foot on the kid's back, so she was in effect halfway standing on them. The kid didn't even seem upset, just "This is what happens when I don't listen." Awe inspiring.
As a retail worker I would applaud that. On the other hand I saw this the other day.
The kid had apparently been running around in the store and was in trouble for that. Their punishment was supposed to be giving up their phone. The mom kept insisting and the kid just kept saying no no no no no. The mom kept threatening to call other people to have them handle it. When the mom started saying you need to listen to me the kids started saying I'll listen tomorrow I'll listen tomorrow I'll listen tomorrow.
The mom literally gave up at this and the kid kept the phone. Kid was like 13 BTW this wasn't a small child
She does it to me! Let's one rip and with a mischievous little grin says, "I toot."
Okay, that's new.
It's a time tested way of handling things
