If only we could harness that for good

Charles has learned the techniques of passive resistance. We were getting on his case for refusing to do what he was told, so instead he does as directed but very slowly. One technique for this that is odd, even for Charles, is his slow walking technique. In this, he squats down, grabs his ankles from the front, and then takes little tiny steps to move forward. It seems to be a reaction to complaints about his previous technique, which was to crawl or wriggle across the floor. The corrective applied, “no, Charles, get on your feet” seems to have yielded this technically accurate response.
