Bosho,
It does not matter how you child behaves, by taking her along to the Kingdom Hall you are ruining her life. No matter if she is noisy or quiet the dub propaganda will eventually rot her mind and she will become a braindead, thought-controlled drone.
The best thing you can do, for yourself and your daughter, is never step inside the doors of a Jehovah's Witness propaganda hall again.

bottom line
while many poster expressed how they get angry when someone told them to do this or that with their own kids, and like this poster she was called on the carpet=
well i hate to tell you THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO - what you are seeing is just how High Control groups work, they are merely doing what they are suppose to do-
and that is why allowing ourselves or our kids to cross the sill of a kingdom hall door puts us into this situation, THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO,
as long as you go to the hall you will have to deal either directly with this issue or know that everyone is talking about you like a dog, IT IS PART OF THE SYSTEM
IF you bad mouth a member for correcting you on how to handle your daughter they have options, tell the elders that you have a bad attitude and the next thing you know you got a sheparding viist telling you once again how to raise your kids,
if you are in a hall with crazy elders, you get to have a servicemeetng part local needs
"are we controling our kids' of course you will be embarrssed cause everyone will know that the talk is for you-
my point is this is how being in a cult works, i understand the point that you made about keeping peace with your folks,and that is where each of us have to make a personal decision
some decide to grind and bear it , others decide i have no desire to subject myself to the CHEESE CRACKER MEN and thier rules-
as long as i can recall the instructions from "Mature Sisters" have always told Immature sisters to beat thier kids-
the entire wt systems cares nothing about your feelings,
while as IW stated kids need to know when and where, this is very different
if your child ran in the Mall noone would try and connect your LOVE OF GOD TO YOUA not telling your child not to run, YET in wt world everthing one doesn't or in your case doesn't do is always being connected TO YOUR LOVE OF GOD-
this is why it frustrates persons like yourself, myself and others, for we know that a 3yr running has nothing to do with us loving or not loving god, yet in wt that is what they make you feel like
just hang in there for the day will come soon and it appears sooner rather than later that you will reach the point that keeping the "Peace" will not mean as much to you as letting your child be a child
we wish you well and hang in there - don't get upset for they are doing only what they know and that is why you and i and others have to do what we know- LEAVE
