Public meltdowns: What to in order to prevent meltdowns in public

Many parents have dealt with it. Most American parents have dealt with public meltdowns in children. Most parents feel embarrassed when their children have public meltdowns. The fact of the matter is that there is something you can do to reduce public meltdowns, and that is primarily by was of swaddling blankets. 

Mothers swaddling their young children is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke their children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul to lift up the customary law commanding the secure attachment between parents and children in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to their children as their enemy, expecting absolutely nothing in return.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages of offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating a child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings.

Most all, if not all, parents have dealt with a public meltdown in their child. Such behavior in young children is a modern concept. When a child is kicking and screaming on the floor of a store or restaurant, they have unmet needs, meaning, in most cases, unmet attachment needs. In biblical times, parents were steadfast to meet ALL of their children's needs through close nurturing by mothers. 

Public meltdowns are prevented by way of swaddling blankets for children under age 6. When children were in the swaddling blankets of mothers, they cried silent tears, and then mothers cooed while attending to her young child, perhaps by breastfeeding their child to sleep, with the child wrapped up in her arms. Most of the time, however, the child needed reassurance thar mom was still there (due to normal separation anxiety).

The swaddling blankets were made of velvet, and were tied to the left breast, then across the dot to the right leg, or vice versa, or both in the case of twins. From there, the child was tucked under the loose-fitting and revealing dress of mothers that resembled an apron. Milk-dependent children breastfed while being tucked under mom's dress.

Sometimes, an older child would cry in public, in which case the mother picked up the child while wearing her dress, and then tucked the older child under her dress, resting the head of the child on her bosom. Older children, however, showed discipline and composure when out in public, leaving all their emotions out once they got home.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them forever be cast into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
