How to deal with Trump, part 2
You can learn to predict your childs emotional moments and tantrums in public
There are certain situations in which young children often become emotionally charged. These situations include:
- Being with several people: with the whole family at dinner, at a family gathering, a meeting, a birthday party, the grocery store, church, or temple.
- Moving from one activity to another: leaving home for day care, leaving day care for home, stopping play for dinner, and going to bed.
- Watching themselves being ridiculed on Saturday Night Live
- Being with a parent or Chief of Staff who is under stress: the parent is cooking, cleaning, shopping, trying to explain Constitutional limitations, or is upset because theres so little help.
- At the end of any especially close or fun-filled time: after a trip to the park, after a good friend leaves, after wrestling, chasing, and laughing with Mom or Dad.
When children become emotionally charged, they cant think. They simply cant function normally. They want unreasonable things, and are unsatisfied with your attempts to give them what they want. They cant listen, and the slightest thing brings them to tears, tantrums, or hastily approved SEAL missions. Your child needs your closeness and patience. They cant get out of that state without your help.
Every protest matters, kids. Let's put an end to the tantrums.
