Are Children Really an Alien Species? P.S. If you have not already read "Alien Part 1", please do so now so this next part will make more sense to you. Thanks. Energy Sucking Tentacle #2 (EST version #2) is a fall-back weapon applied by your little alien almost automatically when EST#1 fails, is pulled off, or is cut loose. EST#2 is the feared TT, temper tantrum. Your little "angel" acts like a two year-old (she might even a two year-old) and call you names: "meanie", use profanity, "dumb old dishes", "Olivia, doesn't have to set the table at her house.", "you don't love me...." First, recognize what is happening - - this alien that has been residing in your home is sucking at your emotional energy ! You do not have to allow this! Second: Hold on to your emotions: Don't lose your cool. Don't lose your temper. The only, repeat, only, thing you say calmly is, "Jason, you may go out to play when you have straightened your room." One Exception: You are allowed to say, with a poker face, "That was a pretty good act, but I recognize an Alien Energy Sucking Tentacle everytime! That was a Number 2, you can go out to play when you have straightened your room." This exception is allowed because you may have an especially skilled alien, fully prepared to use an advanced EST2 technique: This advanced technique is to have a real, not faked, temper tantrum (TT), if your alien is young. Or, a quick unplanned runaway (jogger). How to tell the difference: If there is no pre-packed backpack, if profanity is used by a child over six; then it might be real. PPS: {You can pretend if you like that your child learned all those words at school, but we both know better.} What you should do. Possibility #1: If the TT could cause the child injury, then do the "hug -n- hold" until it is over, then repeat, "You may go out ot play when you have straightened your room." Possibility #2: You can just let the TT run its course, and when it is over, say "You may go out ot play when you have straightened your room." For the "jogger"- quickly before he can get out the door: Remember you are supposed to be ready for this: say, "Jason, when you get hungry, come back." Every child over six who leaves the house without a pre-prepared fully loaded backpack crammed with vital life support energy foods (Twinkies, Oreos, two pounds of jerky, and five pounds of trail-mix) will, because you said it, and establishing the idea in his / her mind, become ravenous within a city block and return home soon. Unless, and this is a slim possibility, he eats your neighbor's cat (raw) first. On Jason's return, you say, "You may go out to play when you have straightened your room." No change in voice volume, no punishments, no additions, no yelling - -you are trying to teach Self-Discipline ! You could compliment him on a really well done, advanced EST#2, it is your decision. The problem is that saying this could cause an automatic attempt at EST#3, which is in the next part.
