It is not worth thinking that only adults know how to use various manipulation techniques: children are also actively exploring this possibility.

Therefore, it is worth knowing about the basic techniques that your child can use.

What do they consist of?

"Public Speaking"

If children start crying, screaming and otherwise demonstrating their bad behavior in front of others, then we are talking about attempts at manipulation.

"You to me, I to you"

Parents are offered to get what they want for a certain service or purchase. In this way, the child offers to exchange what adults want for his own needs.

Split

Children may refer to the other parent or grandparents as having allegedly allowed something. In this case, they "hide" behind the authority of another adult.

Friend's parents

It is not only adults who can use this technique by referring to their friends' children: a child can also use this form of manipulation.

Love

Children say that adults apparently don't love them if they don't want to satisfy their request.
