Honestly will just bring my child to a quiet space and let her calm down. No point to shout

...when I was growing up...my mum will pinch and twist so hard if I misbehave in public

Redirect his attention and come back to address his trigger when he’s calmer

Pull him aside and explain to him why that kind of behaviour is unacceptable

Bring him home directly so he know throw tantrum will not get anything done

will ask what's wrong and try to calm my child. and divert his attention

usually giving the eye works, the " continue & when u go home.... "

i just show hug him and ask him what's the matter

try to remain cool/calm but on the other side a strict parent!

Be firm with him/her to stop and explain why and reason put.
