Actress Jessica Alba was on Live With Regis and Kelly this morning showing some love for her new movie, Valentine's Day, and talking about her sweetheart, Honor. It turns out that the 19-month-old is giving her mama a run for her money. Since the toddler currently favors the word "no," Jessica has resorted to using reverse psychology to get her lil darling to do things. Do you partake in the same parenting tactic?
lol.. why use that tactic with a 19 month old anyway? They get to a stage where everything is "no" no matter if they want to or not. Typical example is dinner time, I tell her dinner is ready
and to come out to eat it. She says no even as shes happily streaking from her room to the table.. lol. Obviously some of the times are defiant, but for the most part they just start saying
no without any real meaning behind it.

I hate when people use that phrase: "reverse psychology" .. what does that mean? the oppisite of the study of human behavior ?

2None of my kids did no for no's sake. They said no and meant no from the day they learned to say it.
