A collection of unscientific techniques for manipulating children into becoming better people. My kids are toddlers. Let me know if any of these wouldn’t work on older children (or adults!).
How do you feel about: "When they first learn how to communicate, it can be tempting to plead ignorance to inconvenient requests. This is tremendously unfair, infuriating, and counterproductive to your long-term goals." given the update "..she angrily affirms “Listen, what I want is X.”"
Does it fall into the same category of "tremendously unfair, infuriating, and counterproductive to your long-term goals."?
😅 fun post

Not at all! It usually prompts further discussion as to why I am putting my foot down when I do.
