Reverse Pshychology

Can someone please tell me what Reverse Psychology means?

Suggesting to do something by someone that you don’t want him/her doing it or vice versa.

For example I don’t want to eat my vegetables I will say to a child that this vegetable is so yummy and maybe his mother won’t allow eating it because it is so sweet. When the child eats that vegetables you just did a reverse psychology.

Mother’s are masters at this. :laughing: :laughing: The world famous mother’s guilt trip is a fine example of using reverse phychology.

I have to agree with that. Everytime I want to play outside my mom would say “OK…” and then I feel worried and end up staying at home. Haha. :laughing:

Yes, to do it effectively it must use tone of voice, body language and a subtle simple command of the language. Oh and let us not forget the eyes… proper use of eyes can make or break the whole thing. :smiley:

It’s unfair! Kids need to revolt!

Propaganda.

They can’t, it has something to do with an invisible umbilical chord that mothers and children have between them. :wink:
