Ways to control your stress when dealing with youth.
So, I work at a juvenile prison, and I thought I would share some therapy techniques.
#1 the therupetic fly swatter. When the juveniles come near a quick swat teachers them to mind your personal space.
#2 If they ask you something or start talking say Huh?, and they eventually roll their eyes a leave you alone.
#3 For the persistent arguer, intervene with a story or question that doesn't make sense. I.e. If you are driving down mainstreet in a mini red canoe and a tire falls off, how many waffles does it take to shingle a dog house? Let them ponder in a confused state of mind, and then answer, it doesn't matter because ice cream doesn't have bones. Next revert to tip #2
#4 For the worst of the worst, use the therupetic baseball bat.

Thanks Kranny! I do so miss Rustproof, but Tuesdays and Wednesdays off don't amount to being able to hang out with the gang! :( Rob has to brag whenever we gets to go to church there!
