But after 4 yrs of watching this child act up always, hit others, shove her parents, never obey and roll around in a cburch one has to wonder why there is no control? I would remove my child. I hate to compare but Estelle never behaved this way all the time. Even Sofia's younger children were more behaved. My children obviously struggled in a situation like this but ...I had things to entertain them and they knew the word NO. Leonore has a free spirit? Fine but even a free spirit needs rules. She is not exhibiting any signs of self control which she should be at 4. She acts the same at 2 3 and 4. Which is curious. I will not say anything about the whys...except they all laugh and ignore. So they are all either letting it run free and not stepping in with their parenting style or there is something we do not know... all I do know is if she is not learning self control in any manner now then at 13 she will be a handful. A 4 yr old should know not to roll around in the floor in church. Or strip down in church. Or choke a little one anywhere. Or smack away a parent repeatedly. <br />She is a beautiful little girl. I just think we as Mothers always notice these things and wonder and chat. <br /><br />No one is bashing anyone. This is your interpretation ...2 of you in a midst of the rest of us.<br /><br />Diane Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018830629685799985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-7126307041219650732018-06-13T20:53:13.496+01:002018-06-13T20:53:13.496+01:00Alexander is absolutely adorable.

I've seen too many public displays of hysterical mothers who scream at their child to behave but instead of making things better and calming the child, they make things worse-they have hysterically screaming and crying child who won't hear any reasoning. <br /><br />Madeleine called Leonore to order and she listened but I did not see anyone else interfiering/helping out, so they must have been okay with everything happening. Don't quite understand all this fuss some have started. <br /><br />PS: Princess Adrienne is very cute and sweet child.

Lately her dress selection is rather surprising. I know she turned 40, however that is just a number, right?<br /><br />Last thought from me: how many of those making comments about Leonore have more than one child? Just asking, so I know if you are judging based on your own experience or not.

Yes, sometimes in public. Leonore was likely tired, bored, her schedule interrupted. To her, this was not a serious event for a princess. It was a comfortable joyful place in the company of her doting family and friends. She is too young to be expected to know the difference in what will be expected. I am sure her parents will say something to her in private, not in the middle of a televised baptism.<br /><br />Two of my children had many such moments in public/church. One is a doctor, the other a professor and author. I overreacted with the first and it only caused harm and meltdowns. Just because this child was not acting in the rigid way you define as appropriate or approve of does not mean she must be disciplined or all is lost. You saw one moment in her life. Children are born with certain personalities. Her parents know best how to handle her and are doing a great job with a happy child. I doubt they need or care for advice.<br /><br />They had no option at the time, They both had their hands full with another child. All cameras were on them. Disciplining her in public would likely have resulted in a bigger distraction, a very public meltdown and more “advice” and criticism. Ignoring attention seeking behaviour is actually best. If anything, either Grandma or an Aunt could have stepped in to distract her if they were concerned, they weren’t.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-33004384079300923502018-06-11T11:04:38.303+01:002018-06-11T11:04:38.303+01:00Really agree with you!Really agree with you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-73362578103058110592018-06-11T09:56:03.490+01:002018-06-11T09:56:03.490+01:00Why do we always have to discuss Leonore's beh...Why do we always have to discuss Leonore's behaviour here? <br />By doing this and showing "concern" we draw even more attention to her behaviour and everything is more embarrasing! <br />Okay, she got tired and bored at the end of the ceremony.

There have been lots of christenings, including royal christenings where little kids run around, sit or roll on the floor..they are children who are too young still to understand importance and difference of places and events.<br />When Leonore is a mother herself one day and wonders why her daughter or son is active and wants rather move around than sit still for 45 min, then these images and videos help to remind her that she was the same. Or perhaps Madeleine should start to event excuses why Leonore had to stay away from public events because who knows how tired and in need of her nap child may act?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-19075455468940927272018-06-10T23:37:13.975+01:002018-06-10T23:37:13.975+01:00LOL.

And if she grows up into a well-functioning adult, that will be great. Hopefully, she will. Right now, however, these events are beyond her capability. And the videos of her naked, shoeless legs and feet flailing in the air as she rolls on the floor in the center of a religious ceremony are there forever for the entire world to see--forever. This has nothing to do with your child. For her own protection, Leonore needs to be spared these pressured situations until it's clear they are not distressing her and will not be distressing for her to see, over and over again in news outlets over which she has no control, for the rest of her life.Pinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250629491896265771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-6245307144016255982018-06-10T21:17:13.249+01:002018-06-10T21:17:13.249+01:00Amen Anonymous @ 7:15.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of criticism thrown at other parents, just because some people are just perfect....my family, friends and coworkers know that I am quite of a disciplinarian, and so I raised my three children with the same rules for all, but alas!! while 2 of them were relatively easy to handle, my middle one was a helion, he would throw tantrums at the most inconvenient times, talk back , and pretty much be his own person, time out, grounding, taking privileges away, sweet talking, and even an occasional swat in the bottom( yes, in those days , we spanked children) I can guarantee you that there was no bad parenting and that at moments I felt so frustrated, specially because there is always somebody ready to pass judgement . There was absolutely nothing wrong with my son, he eventually grew out of this behavior, although up to this day, he is a spirited, loving, generous and accomplished man that loves to be the devils advocate and enjoys a good and passionate discussion. We seem to quickly jump to judgement, and forget that thing aren't that simplistic.

She sit when it was expected to sit, only later did she get tired and restless. I don't quite blame her because even grown-ups can get restless during long ceremonies. Besides she's not as used to publicity/cameras/photographers like her cousins.<br />We are "concerned" about Leonore who's active and "uncontrollable", already predicting difficult times ahead with her. Bat yourself on your shoulder for having kids "who always behave" but are they really that well behaving all the time, even when tired, in need of their daily nap, would bystanders say the same? If yes, you are lucky. <br />Children of this age still learn and develop. And why active child is such a failure and concern but passive child, who only sit and stare is a good and admirable?

If anyone is being overly dramatic, it's you, Anonymous. Personally, Leonore's repeated behavior, or lack of it, is concerning. I feel for Madeleine, who looked stressed from start to finish, in spite of her smile. And I also feel for Leonore. I think other posters have expressed valid concern, as well. I watched the video of the event again. Something is not connecting with this child.

She looked so beautiful and elegant. <br />Victoria...sigh. Oldfashioned dress, bad hairstyle and headpiece that accentuated her jaw in a bad way. Suddenly she looked...old. Dissapointing look. Perhaps she worried about her daughter?<br />Sofia..much better, lovely dress (even if a little wrinkly) and hairstyle. She's beautiful woman and looks more secure in her role. I was surprised that she and Carl Philip forgot to bow to the altar..<br />Silvia .. Elegant as always. <br />Chris's mother, sisters and niece..they all looked lovely.

But royal children are not obviously allowed to do that. No way!!! <br />Social development of 4-year-olds can be different but as a mother of 4-year-old son, I feel for Leonore. I recognize many things she does as my son does the same things. This is the age they are trying to do things independently, not listen to their parents, discover. Also they moods may change quickly, they may throw tantrums at the smallest things, especially when they are overtired and havent had their daytime nap. Did not see Leonore throwing tantrum or screaming or something. Or did I miss something? Perhaps she also felt neglected as Madeleine was with Adrienne, Chris with Nicolas and she felt left out...<br />Anyway, this was very beautiful ceremony and I enojoyed watching it!
