Are you going out of your mind not knowing what to do about the incessant screaming because your child is throwing another one of her tantrums again? Control the chaos. Here is a safe mind control trick that you can do on little Jenny (or little Billy).
I know, just the thought of performing a “mind control trick” on your child just makes you want to stop reading this article but it really won’t be as bad as it sounds. If it makes you feel better, I learned it from a college professor of Religion, of all people.
But the most important thing is that, as far as I know, everyone who has used this technique on their child has been successful. So, I felt I should throw it out there for those of you who may feel the need to get back some of their own sanity and restore the peace.
At first, you are probably not going to believe how simple this trick is. But, if you truly do have a child that throws numerous tantrums, you will see how valuable this method is when it works for you.
In order to perform this trick, of course, you need to have a child that is throwing a tantrum. Please do not use it on other people’s children, as it may elicit an undesirable response from the child’s parents before you are even able to get started.
It would be better to explain the technique to the parent so they may choose whether or not to perform this, rather kookie, method on their child if they are so inclined.
Okay Let’s Begin
- First, approach your child from behind.
- Slowly and, gently but firmly, CUP your child’s ears with your hands; one hand lightly over each ear. Did I say “lovingly,” make sure it is with loving intention that you do this step no matter how irritated you are at the moment.
This focuses all of little Billy’s screaming back into his own auditory senses; much like the sensation of over-the-ear headphones. You’ll be surprised at how fast he/she stops screaming.
Extremely Important Step
There is one more step you must do or the tantrum will likely start up immediately again.
Make sure that you gently move your child’s head (and hopefully, his body will follow) so that Billy is facing a static wall. In other words, make sure Billy is not facing the television or a moving object or person.
Once again, make sure that you are behind him at all times when implementing this mind control trick technique.
It is imperative that your child is not able to see you; and especially the worried expression on your face. So, make sure that little Billy is not facing a mirror or any reflective surface.
That’s it.
As you can see, this is a simplistic version of a sensory deprivation meditation strategy.
When to Stop
If you do this correctly, your child should stop her tantrum on her own. The child usually stops almost immediately or within a matter of a couple of minutes.
What if after 5 minutes your child does not stop? I honestly do not know what you can do because, to my knowledge, this situation always worked. Unfortunately, you and your child may be the first to disprove this handy little trick.
What will, most likely, occur is that your child’s tantrums will become less and less; and fewer and farther between. Peace and tranquility will triumph once again in your household and all will be right with the world.
