If you have little ones, you will most likely have the opportunity to defend them from the great beasts of the imagination.
Its a personal challenge I live for.
Simon is one of the most creative 3 years olds I have ever met. His 10 siblings would agree. He also has an imagination second to none. I’m just waiting to convince Kathi to let me do a string of YouTube videos on the kid, just for laughs.
His biggest challenge: monsters.
Here’s some tips that has proven to be the best solution for my son and his sisters when they feel afraid of the big bad beasts.
- Smile as you talk to them. Kids react to the degree you do. Smile so they know this is fun and they should not worry.
- Tell them they are in charge and they need to warn the creatures that dad now knows they are in the house.
- Tell them monsters are afraid of you, because you hunt them, catch them…and eat them. This is key.
- Have a BBQ and let the kids eat some monster. Chicken works well as the cheek and hindquarters, seasoned steak is great for the arms and legs. Make a big deal about eating the meat with the kids and smile big when you tell them THIS is why monsters fear you.
Trust me on this. We don’t have monster problems at my house anymore. We do, however, have some great BBQ’s.
