A child would not sit down on a Porter flight out of Victoria this weekend, and the plane never left the gate. Sarah Rosensweet, a peaceful parenting coach and mom of three, questions why it took close to an hour before anyone stepped in, and what that says about airline policy as much as parenting.

 

Rosensweet separates panic from defiance, explains when gently holding a child becomes the safe and necessary choice, and lays out exactly what to pack and rehearse before flying with young kids. She also pushes back on the online judgment aimed at the parents, pointing out how little anyone outside that plane actually knew.

 

The advice here applies well past this one flight, for any parent facing a meltdown in public.
