Referring to Running The Animal Process* On A Young Child

“I saw the child several times and played the games some more and we got the net result of a considerable rise. Not necessarily, though, in the child's behavior to the family. We got general tone rise on the part of the child toward everyone, but I mean not in terms of behavior. Because it alarmed the family to see the child cocky and so their first impulse was to knock it back, real quick. Regardless of what it was doing, take it away, move it back, drive in, drive in those anchor points, drive in those anchor points and wonder 'why little Gertrude is so ornery.

Now, as you start to bring the child out, up that line it gets ornery, liable to get mad and throw rages and do all sorts of things, tantrums and so forth—that is a phase on the road out. Child passes them by. If you want to really see a very affectionate child, you would not quite maybe appreciate that this child is very affectionate and very happy and so forth—this child is quite certain that it could eat you and the rest of the environment in total, without any trouble whatsoever. That's not flattering, is it? And yet the child is very sweet and very nice, very well behaved. Funny, isn't it?”
