My DD 19 months is at the age where she occasionally experiments with tantrums. My policy is always that I ignore her to teach her it won't work IF we are at a place where I don't feel it will affect someone's experience. So if we are a restaurant, show, art museum then I remove her and let her finish it outside. If we are at the grocery store, mall etc then I just let her go to town and she is usually done in 3-5 minutes. I know it might annoy someone but I figure that going to the grocery store isn't really an "experience" so much as a task or chore. As a result she learned fast that it doesn't work and we rarely have one anyway.
