usually we use a sitting in time away approach, and when she calms down we ask her whats wrong and to apologize for what she did! Im more worried about going to chuck e cheese and her not sharing or hitting other kids! Thanks
I guess im trying to ask how to handle her and not have her screaming while she sits in her time-out
the toddler is 20 months, going home is not the option i want becausee the 6 yr old would be upset but i will use that as last option!

if she doesnt share or is hitting people take her outside to sit in the car for a while. then take her back in. if she does it again then just go on home.

Threaten to take away her favorite toy
Say If she starts acting good, she can have ice cream, or something
Say if she proceeds the bad behavior, you will go home and stay there
Really you need to consider the reward/ punishment method.
Works like a charm

she is only 20 months old. it takes time, just keep doing what you are doing. this age that sort of thing happens.

Hey before going into chuck e cheese or public places talk to your toddler about “rules” like keeping her hands to herself “no hitting” or use inside voices “no screaming” be nice “treat people how you want to be treated” & if she breaks a rule you take her aside & tell her what’s she’s done wrong & when you get home she’ll take a time out. Also a time out is for thinking what she’s done wrong she’s shouldn’t be allowed to be screaming, yelling, kicking, hitting etc…. that’s where you’ve gone wrong and let her get away with that. Your 6 year old should be able to go out in public with out her sibling being a brat and ruining the fun for her. So this is my suggestion to you on how to handle you toddler in public.

i think you need to tell her if shes good youll take her for ice cream. Tell her about sex that will have her off her normal schedual for a while.

You explain to her how she is to behave and the consequences if she doesn’t BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE.
yes, she does understand.
When she acts up, you give her ONE warning.
Then, you make her sit in the chair, by herself, while the other kids play.
For at least 10 minutes.
If she screams, she gets a bigger punishment when she gets home.
Each time she repeats, you repeat – for a longer time.
She’ll get the message.
You people constantly amaze me.
What in the HELL are you going to do when your kids turn 13?
KIDS WHO ARE BABIED GROW UP TO BE IDIOTS.
STOP IT.

Make her sit out a minute or two. You don’t have to worry about making a scene as it is already loud in there.
