Kate Middleton has a strict rule for parenting her children, after the specific way she deals with tantrums has been revealed.
Parenting three children of young ages is never easy, no matter the position you're in - although nannies and riches would probably come in handy from time to time.
And to make matters worse, there seems to be a lot of speculation over which way is the right way to manage your children's outbursts.

Of course, it wouldn't be human nature to avoid getting frustrated 24/7, but Kate seems to have working methods in place to deal with her children's outbursts.
The Princess of Wales shares sons Prince George, 10, and Prince Louis, six, and daughter Princess Charlotte, nine, with husband Prince William.
Unlike the Royal broods that came before them, the family often share sweet glimpses into what makes their life as a family-of-five so special.
Despite always coming across as calm and collected during Royal excursions with her kids, Kate is reportedly said to have a surprisingly strict approach to parenting behind-the-scenes.
According to The Sun in 2020, shouting is totally 'off limits' for the three youngsters, with all hints that a tantrum may escalate resulting in a 'removal'.
A source claimed to the publication: "There’s no ’naughty step’ but there is a ‘chat sofa’.
"The naughty child is taken away from the scene of the row or disruption and talked to calmly by either Kate or William.
"Things are explained and consequences outlined and they never shout at them."
Tyla has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.
Kate's focus on parenting also extends beyond her own family, and in the last few years alone, she has fronted several campaigns, including 'Shaping Us' with the Centre for Early Childhood, emphasising the importance of early childhood development.
"This isn’t just about raising kids. It’s about shaping our futures, shaping our society, creating a happier, healthier, more nurturing world for us all to live in," she told Capital Breakfast's Roman Kemp back in 2023.
"The pressures that we all face are different.
"Whilst raising the importance of early childhood, this isn’t about putting extra pressure on families.
"It’s actually saying they need the support and help reprioritising family life, home life and all that it takes really in raising children today – because it is tough."
Now that's something we can get behind.
