• “My daughter (5) often peed her pants because all the playing made her forget that she had to go to the toilet. I therefore gave her a nice ‘prize’ if she didn’t pee her pants. Then her twin sister suddenly peed her pants too – while it never went wrong before – to get a prize. We had to rethink our method.”

• “My child (10) was asking questions about sex, so my wife and I explained that people have sex because they love each other and want a child. He got mad because we’re having sex and don’t want any more kids. He watched us for a month. On the couch, he sat between us like a kind of security guard.”

• “We try to explain to our child (2) that he has to hold a hand while crossing the road. A few weeks later I see him holding his own hands. Quite logical, because we hadn’t explained which hand he should hold.”
