How do you control hyperactive Johnny from next door who has Attention Deficit disorder and hyperactivity, and is loaded up on sugar and junk food, AND maxed out sensory wise?
• It is easier for a real, straight person (as opposed to a clown, which is perceived as a non-real, cartoon-character like entity) to set and enforce rules. If a clown does it, no matter how nicely, it still sounds too authoritarian. • If you don’t control the children, they will control you. Most of them know how much they can get away with. They will do this with or without balloons. If you can’t control them with balloons, you won’t be able to control them without balloons. Remember, you’re not a baby-sitter. If the children get out of hand, ask the parents to help. It’s not a crime for a parent to maintain order. • If, as a clown you start handing out numbers, you sound like a person dressed up in a costume. Start making demands, however “nicely”, and you sound like a school teacher dressed up in a costume. I hear from too many parents who hired a “drill seargent”-esque clown who came in and started barking out orders to the kids for simply doing what kids do. . . go WILD when it
