Psyching your kids out with your psychic abilities
This is another trick for the parents out there. Say you caught your kid doing something they shouldn’t be doing (drawing on walls, playing ball indoors, etc.). You could confront them directly and get them to stop immediately. Or, if you want them to behave themselves when you’re not around, leave them be.
When you run into each other at another time like during dinner, bring up what they did wrong and reprimand them for doing it. They’ll be confused that they were caught, but they’ll also be freaked out that you didn’t even have to see them to know what they did.
