I have a toddler - i know what tough love is...
If she sees a toy she wants and we don't want to get it or can't afford to at that time we explain that too her - and walk away, if she cries she gets my husbands cell phone, if that doesn't distract her - we leave! We can always shop at another time
My daughter has never been allowed out of the high chair or booster seat at a restaurant - she doesn't fuss, cry, run around or carry on at restaurants - we have a no playing rule while we are eating - and we talk to her (don't ignore her) at dinner - if she did act up I would take her outside to our car till she calmed down and then maybe take her back in if food hadn't been served yet - if food had been served my husband would get doggy bags - pay the check and we would leave
At home my daughter has thrown tantrums before - she gets a little lead way here - I try and talk to her and calm her down first, then distract her, then if she refuses to calm down - she gets put in her room to throw her fit, after she calms down I go talk to her and explain the why of whatever set her off, get her into a new activity and of course comfort and reassure her.
My daughter appears to have too many toys according to my mother in law, but we rotate her toys every 2-4 weeks or so - when she is sleeping I put away some toys and bring out other toys - its like christmas for her every couple of weeks - she forgets she has certain toys and it constantly renews her interest in what she is playing with. (works with children up to about age 8 or so)
Lastly - I think "spoiled" is a condiontiong from the way parents react to there children rather than a phase - if you don't let them get away with things from the get go, they never push the limits over and over and over
Consitency is key - never give in - teach them a tantrum gets them nothing and pretty soon they will stop trying to use it to get what they want.
Sorry I know this is long, but its one topic I really feel needs to be brought to parents attention.
