660 ... (644) UHHH ... I FEEL A STRONG INSTINCT TO ADD ONE MORE THOUGHT ...

Here is the second post I found languishing in drafts :)
Additional insight into relegating a slice of brain toward becoming a child whisperer ... :)

With patience, good humor and common sense, based in an accumulation of knowledge, it's been my experience to focus mindfully upon shaping young minds by conjuring up experiments, which tend to bend most often toward success. :)

Often times, an added ingredient, necessary for success, goes by the name of luck.  For example: After airing my frustrations on that park bench, I had the good fortune to receive insightful advice instead of feeling slugged with judgmental distain ...

Need I say that advice does not always prove helpful?
Need I say that some advice assured me that children need corporal punishment?
Need I repeat that I was a rookie, rather than a seasoned player?
Need I say that, at times, my temper matched that of a two year old, who had no clue that he had the right to look up to me for positively focused guidance?

I mean didn't he mimic me when I showed him how to make bye-bye?
Didn't he mimic me, automatically when I showed him how to make ...
How big is the baby?
Or pat-a-cake?
Or yell, NOOO! the moment my temper grabbed control over my think tank, freeing MY wild thing to tie MY sense of logic into tight knots of anger!

Hey!  If I demand logic from a two or three or four or fifteen year old brain then who's brain must look up at me to see how a self disciplined coach consciously extracts self controlled logic from the tree that supports the bend of the twig?

I mean didn't my two year old deserve the same level of patience from me that I'd expected, prematurely from him? Oh my gosh!  If his fits of anger stimulated my think tank to feel fit to be tied then two brains, capable of learning to adhere to logical problem solving techniques, were engaging in power struggles that dinotwithstanding but confuse them both.

Just as premies are in need of incubators before they can function independently, an unruly two year old demonstrates a classic developmental need to inhale PATIENT inner strengths from me ... which truthfully, I'd not yet developed!!  As my ego did not take kindly to insights, revealing deeper truths that showcase immaturity emanating from my think tank ... I've learned to sit my ego and my impatience in a time out chair, so my thought processor remains cool and clear at those times when think tanks, surrounding me, are malfunctioning, due to over heating ...

See what I mean about developing an awareness for tuning into insightful trains of thought, backed by a wealth of knowledge that makes sense of nonsense, which defies common sense?  :)

Okay—let's buckle up in my time machine and zoom forward about a dozen years on the time line :)
