Are you looking for ways to irritate your child? While it might seem counterproductive, it’s surprisingly simple to do. Here are some effective strategies:
- Rise and shine them with an early morning wake-up call.
- Use your saliva to clean their face, much to their dismay.
- Mistakenly toss their latest homework in the recycling, thinking it was old.
- Announce a screen time limit and stick to it.
- Ignore their call for a sick pickup from school, leaving them stuck with an awkward classmate.
- Neglect to save that one piece of artwork they believe is essential for their happiness.
- Ask them to take on the task of feeding the dog, even if it’s their only chore.
- Attempt to clarify their homework using different terminology than what their teacher employed.
- Stop reading a thrilling chapter of their favorite book at a cliff-hanger, just as things get exciting. “And then the monster was about to attack Harry and his friends… Goodnight, sweetie!”
- Suggest they change out of their favorite mismatched outfit.
- Remind them that their homework is still waiting.
- Stock only “boring” snacks in the pantry.
- Let holes form in their favorite socks, and fail at fixing them.
- Decline to buy the latest Skylanders characters, citing budget concerns.
- Get dizzy while watching them play Mine Craft, leading you to miss the best parts.
- Insist they use utensils during meals.
- Encourage them to use a napkin instead of their shirt as a makeshift one.
- Ask them to employ polite language at the dinner table.
- Request that they simply sit in a chair during meals.
- Offer explanations about school subjects they already understand better than you do.
- Show them only uninteresting television options while reminiscing about your limited choices as a child, like The Dukes of Hazzard, leading to blank stares.
- Ask them to aim for the toilet rather than just the general area.
- Inform them that it’s time for bed.
