Even when children aren't behaving well, I have seen parents describe the child's actions and calmly explain that what they did was not appropriate and then they talk about how they have to clean up or make things right again. Then they redirect the child's attention to an adult that volunteers to help out or to another activity for a little while. They do not get angry, and even if they are annoyed, they did not resort to any form of punishment like spanking or screaming at the child.

Getting down on their level and giving your full attention to that child only. Asking questions to help the child figure out what is upsetting them. Restating back to the child so they know that you are listening and understand what they are feeling and that you carel

It’s, pretty impressive that the parents are able to calmly explain how what the child did was not appropriate and they were able to talk about how they have to clean up or make things right again. And how the parents are able to redirect the child's attention to an adult that volunteers to help out, or to another activity for a little while. I know parents that flip-out as soon as they hear their kid make noise, so diverting or redirecting a child’s attention from a disapproved behavior and substituting it for another activity is a good way to avoid a struggle with a child or the child can also be moved away from the disapproved behavior.
