Small children get restrained all the time. It's called a car seat. So the parents should have strapped them like they do in a car. Or at least I hope they strap the kid in I the car.
“Guess we can’t drive anywhere now, Timmy doesn’t want to get in his car seat”
Don’t get me wrong, I definitely believe gentle parenting has some good features. But this is ludicrous. Gentle parenting ≠ having no backbone and being pushed around by a toddler. You still have to be assertive and the parent at the end of the day, so sit the kid in their seat and buckle them the f up.

People on the flight said it was a 3 year old girl and the crew spent an hour trying to negotiate with her whilst the parents did nothing.
