心理学小窍门(四)

(10)如果你有孩子，且正在因为他挑食而苦恼，那么你可以试试这个办法。不要问他们吃不吃，而是要问他们要几筷子或几勺，这会让他们觉得自己是成年人，可以自己做决定，同时又会自愿吃下。

Every parent knows the struggle at trying to make your kids eat their vegetables.The trick? Instead of asking them if they want any broccoli at all (for any kind of vegetable for that matter), ask them whether they’d like three or five pieces of veg (the quantity is up to you).It’ll make kids feel as if they’ve made a grown-up choice and they’ll still be getting their nutrients. It’s a win-win!

(11)如果有人一直叨叨个不停，你完全插不上话，那么你可以故意掉个东西在地上，比如钥匙和笔，并在你弯腰去捡的同时开口说话,这样你就能在不知不觉间打断对方，井且他还不会意识到。

If someone won’t stop talking or let you get a word in, drop something(keys, pen).Reach down to pick them up and start talking. It’s a way to interrupt without the other person realizing it.

(12)如果你缺乏做一件事情的动力，比如说学习一个技能，一个乐器或者是一门语言，你只要告诉自己：行，我就坐下学5分钟。很多时候，你到最后会坚持不止5分钟。即使你只练了5分钟，那也比不试好。

If you have trouble motivating yourself to do something like learn a skill(instrument, language etc.) tell yourself “Ok, I’ll sit down and do this just for five minutes”. A lot of the time you’ll end up going for much longer than five minutes. But even if you don’t, it’s still five minutes of practice in whatever the heck you wanted to learn in the first place.
