And when there was absolutely ZERO smoke smoldering from the embers of the Tantrum, Ming Chi seized the moment to show Panda T’ai how to use his ANGER ENERGY productively.

 

Knowing he was still too young and recently upset to HEAR ‘n UNDERSTAND any advice she might try to give, she stepped in with: “Wow, you look like you can use a little play right now!”

 

And he would usually Grrrrrr . . . “Sure could!”

 

“OK then, let’s do some Panda STOMPA!

On hind legs we rise like trees,

Bending forward a little with ease,

Placing front paws on our knees.

 

Lift up left leg, then on the ground it Stompas.

Lift up right leg, then on the ground it Stompas.

Left leg, then right leg, on the ground Stompa.

Again ‘n again, Stompa, Stompa, Stompa.

 

Now we’ll Walk’a while we Stompa

Like a Giant Sumo Wrestl’a!

 

Still a stand’n like sturdy trees

‘N Bend’n forward with ease,

Paws still on our knees,

Left leg up, walk’a a little left’a,

Mov’n forward as we Stompa.

 

Now right leg up, walk’a a little right’a,

Mov’n forward as we Stompa.

Again ‘n again; Walk’a Stompa,

Like a Giant Sumo Wrestl’a!

Walk’a Stompa, Walk’a Stompa,

Joy, Joy, Joy, We Stompa!

As Ming Chi looked at Panda T’ai, she could see all flames and embers of the Temper Flare quickly turning into cool ashes until he was Temper Bare!

 

“Wanna have some more fun, son?”

 

“If it’s like that, I do, I do!”

“Whoo Hoo, then let’s do the Panda PawPaw!”

 

“On hind legs we rise like bamboo,

Standing tall ‘n steady we do.

 

With two front paws we’ll be slapp’n

Our beautiful body just like we’re a clapp’n.

 

With Panda PawPaw, we’re a pour’n 

Happy, healing energy into every organ,

Muscles ‘n bones, without a bruis’n.

We don’t wanna be a hurt’n!
