Never mind the Cats,how do I keep Kids off the garden
The message
from Jane Ransom contains these words: In article , dave @ stejonda writes Howsabout going out and talking to the kids? If you introduce yourself and stay calm and pleasant (seeing it from their POV) you're most likely to get a positive response, and the opposite if you go out, holler at them and plant spikey plants. Wrong Dave, oh sooooooooooooooo wrong! I tried that approach years ago with children (I hate the term kids, it's insulting to goats) who used to play cricket against a lamp post that was in line with my glass front doer. I used to talk to them reasonably, recorded them once and asked them in to listen to themselves and asked them if they would like to have to listen to 'that' all day etc etc. Result - zero. That's unsurprising. It appears you objected to the danger to your glass door, on the grounds that you didn't like the noise the kids were making. Kids can't grasp that kind of logic, and neither do I :-) (runs for six) Janet |
