There's an ACTOR when there's an AUDIENCE

Some adults think that children do not know anything.
I think children are very smart, extremely flexible and possess tireless energy.

Adam Khoo once shared with us:
A mother was very afraid to bring her child to toy department.
Every time her child asked her to buy a toy and she refused, her child would throw a huge tantrum on the spot - crying, rolling on the floor, shouting and flinging things around. Her mother had to pull him out of the place. Despite the coaxing, scolding and beating, her child still repeatedly exhibit the same pattern to get what he wants.

So, Adam taught the helpless mother a strategy and asked her to test it out.

The next time the mother brought her child to a toy department, he began the same pattern again.

The mother started crying, rolling on the floor, shouting, messing up her hair and throwing things around. The child actually went silence, panicked and then pulled her mother out of the place! He thought his mother has gone crazy.

Ever since that episode, he never throws a tantrum again at the toy department, fearing that his mother will go "mad" again.

Yes! Adam's strategy is....Throw A Bigger Tantrum Than Him.

Whoever that is more flexible will take control of the situation.
In order to influence our children, we need to be MORE flexible than them and do things beyond their imagination...
