My freaking niece. I love her with all my heart but almost every time I tell that little demon to avoid doing something, she daringly look at me with an evil grin and do it just meer moments after. She thinks everything is a game and my sanity is just another toy.
How about letting her hurt herself (slightly)? If she’s old enough to understand you, she’s old enough to learn that people who tell her not to do something mean well.
It's a good idea but the problem lies in the "slightly" part. The house is under renovation so the dangers are real.
Nonetheless , The idea is very interesting so if such scenario ever present itself I will certainly try it.
