Did you happen to get the Walmart employee's name? One of the best things you could do for her is call her employer and tell him/her what an excellent job she is doing.

I have to say that I've really been thinking of this story all day. When my son (6) had a huge meltdown today, I tried to pay attention to my body language and if I was predator-like (as per your description). I really appreciate that you shared this story. Maybe it will help me keep a level head in a meltdown situation!

OP, have you thought about writing a letter to the store manager or corporate??? i bet that employee didn't even realize the impact she made. I know you stood there watching and not knowing what to do - this could be your chance to *do* something.....

With permission here, you should c/p all of the comments (leaving names off of course) print it up, go find that lady and show her how inspiring she's been to us

I have thought about writing something to the store. I have no idea how to go about tracking the woman down, but figured it would be good to at least acknowledge it.

That is such an inspiring and wonderful story! I am so timid in those situations, I am too scared to say anything, for fear of the parents getting angry etc.

Walmart seems to be a real stress inducer. I know I am much calmer shopping at a small grocery store that has softer lighting, quiet music etc. I know my kids hate Walmart's atmosphere too.

I wonder if she was an angel. As soon as I read that I thought...God sent an angel to that family! Very awesome.
