I am a father of two daughters who are as energetic and excitable as any! When I happen to be in front of the situation and the dynamic needs a flip, I go to my “Rad Dad” play book and flip straight to the “U turn” page..

I will do just about anything possible to tell a funny story, sing a song made up on the spot or maybe do the most embarrassing dad dance possible, anything to that effect.

I have a couple stories about themselves that still reap the desired effect of a complete distraction and resulting in laughter. This is a great trick when let’s say they are strapped in the car seat vigorously swinging mittens at each other.

I’m sure the rest of you parents out there have similar experiences and tactics.

Carry on, thank you!
