Distraction

I thought of an analogy for distraction of someone of any age, and anyone who has had a baby should remember this. If you have a baby and you don't know this trick, here is a Big Gift:

If a baby is holding something dangerous or breakable and you want him to drop it, hold out something more interesting. He will drop what he has, to reach for the new thing.

And that is how distraction can work.


The original is on facebook and I got back to that 2017 writing from a link at SandraDodd.com/depression.

    I started a "distraction" page. There's more to add, but it's a busy week. If I don't get back to it, someone please remind me!
