Video of women scolding toddler on plane sparks debate
China DailyA video showing two women scolding a crying toddler in an airplane bathroom has gone viral on social media in China, igniting a wide-ranging debate on how to best handle distressed children on public transportation. "Children around the ages of 2 to 3 years old naturally cry and act out as part of their developmental process," Guo said, adding that such behavior is entirely normal at that stage of their psychological and physiological growth. "It is concerning that the grandparents allowed strangers to take the child to the bathroom for discipline," she said. "The so-called discipline administered in the bathroom seemed more like a threat than effective teaching," she said, adding that authoritative methods are not suitable for young children, and it is even more problematic when applied by strangers.
