Parenting is not easy, especially during times when your little one refuses to listen or eat their veggies. To get their little ones to behave, some parents resort to reverse psychology techniques, a persuasive method to get someone to do something by suggesting an opposite action (because humans don’t like being told what to do).

At Bright Side, we compiled 15 sweetly hilarious stories from parents who successfully used reverse psychology on their kids.

I remember my mom used to say that if you didn't sleep a lion with 2 feet would come and take me
I used to get so scared that I used to sleep immediately after that

I never thought that it's possible but my best friend is making $10000 every month working this job and she told me about it.

I remember if I don't want to eat as a kid, my dad told me that let's do a game boy let's see me and you who will finish his plate first, the first to finish is the winner then I quickly eated my food before, him but when I grow up I realise that it is trick for me to eat.

Telling your child that something bad happens when it cries is child-abusing!

Most of them are abusive. No wonder there are so many sick people around.
