Anticipation

Building anticipation can be a powerful tool in the Brat Tamer’s arsenal. By creating a sense of suspense or expectation, you can captivate the Brat’s attention and potentially direct their behavior. This could involve announcing a forthcoming reward or consequence, or simply hinting at what’s to come in your dynamic.

Variety

Since Brats often act out to incite a response, varying your reactions can help to keep the dynamic engaging and unpredictable. Do n’t always respond in the same way to their misbehavior; mix it up to keep t hem guessing.

Ignore

This is the default -- if you are not sure what to do, or are a bit confused do this.

At times, choosing to ignore certain bratty behaviors can be an effective strategy. Ignoring a Brat’s attempt to incite a reaction might lead them to reevaluate and modify their approach.

Patience

Being a Brat Tamer requires patience. There will be times when a Brat pushes boundaries just to provoke a reaction. Understanding that this is part of the dynamic and not rushing to respond can sometimes be the best approach.
