"You wouldn't be able to put these toys back quickly, would you?"

Parenting Technique 33 – React with humor by changing your point of view.

Another way to use humor is with a negative sentence. Everyone likes a challenge.

Here are some examples.:

• “You wouldn’t be able to put all your clothes away, would you?”
• “You couldn’t read this whole book, could you?”
• “You wouldn’t be in bed by 8:00 pm with all your chores done, would you?”

You can probably already hear loudly and clearly all the“ Oh yes I can(s).”

Constructive Parenting…

Anytime you can take the pressure off or switch a situation from serious to humorous, you will find yourself ahead of the game. Enjoy this new technique. Not only is it fun, it works!
