Although designed for police encounters, Verbal Judo or Tactical Communication as it is sometimes called can be applied to almost any situation where one person is attempting to persuade someone to do something. Here Dr. George Thompson, president of the Verbal Judo Institute, demonstrated how to use it on a youth who is feeling his oats and doesn’t want to complete his chores before leaving for a party. Learn how to ask, set context, give positive and negative options, confirm their non-compliance, if necessary, before taking appropriate action. The difficult person or in this case difficult youth usually goes along with the program because the father built positive ground for the youth to stand on.
