I'm not judging your parenting style. You do what you gotta do. Im just going to state what my ex and i do. I find that I can give my son a timeout in public. There's no hitting, no yelling. Just me picking my son up and heading to a corner or isle or chair or whatever. I calmly tell him what he did wrong, and then we hug it out. It doesn't work all the time and sometimes he screams all the way to the truck, but I guess toddlers will do that:)
