What insights does Hilary Erickson share about managing grocery store challenges with kids?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse. How can I help?

From the content I have here, I don’t see a specific segment where I talk directly about managing grocery store challenges with kids (it’s more about chores, anger, and scarcity mindset in parenting).

In general, my approach in similar situations is:

• Set clear expectations before you go (what they may or may not put in the cart, behavior rules).
• Give kids age-appropriate “jobs” so they can help and feel involved.
• Expect imperfection and treat meltdowns as “data,” not proof you’re a bad parent.
• Protect your own energy—sometimes it’s okay to simplify, order pickup, or go alone.

Can you tell me the main struggle you’re having with your kids at the store (begging for treats, running off, tantrums, etc.) so I can give you more specific ideas?
