I still do it sometimes (and they’re way older than toddlers). They always responded well to transition warnings, too (like, “We’ll be leaving in 5 minutes. Five minute warning!”).

Or I start counting, you know, without emotion, “Flute practice starts in 10 seconds. 1…2…”

“Right, I’m going right now!” as she races to the flute…

Anyway…
great post! Congratulations on the success with the reverse psychology!!

;-)

Seriously, though, thanks for the laugh–I’m compiling all of your tricks for the day (not soon) when I have children of my own…

The classic is leaving them behind in a store or at home, they hate that.

YEP.. I will start the car too, anything to get the point across. THICK headed this little people.

I do agree though.. letting them think they have some control makes life a little easier.. :)
