REACTIVE - Knee-jerk, thoughtless, impulsive. “Bratty”, “Sulky”,
“Me-first”, feelings bigger than the event, “Nice” or “Nasty” to
extort what they want. Temper
ALWAYS-NEVER - Nothing succeeds like excess ! Getting
even with power by the power play of accusing with the dreaded
“You Always - You-Never” power play guilt trip.
WHINE-SNIVEL - Children learn how to instill guilt and how to
wear people down. People often give them their own way just to
get rid of them and their negativity - thereby reinforcing and
training them in the whine-snivel method.
OVER-COMPLY - Falling all over themselves to do everything
that they are told, down to mindless irrelevant unnecessary
detail. “But you told me to do a good job !”
OVER-REBEL - Will not take yes or no for an answer. Often
doing the opposite of what is requested just to prove their
“independence” (but it is the illusion of independence -- no
thinking of their own -- see reactive above)
