Today I caught myself telling my daughter “not to spill her food on your shirt while she ate.” And guess what happened? You guessed it. She spilled on her shirt. Instantly, I reacted. I told her, “How could you do that?! I just told you not to do it!” And then, I was reminded of this video and my own advice I share to my students in MPGA. Write in the comments if you can relate to this and give an example of a recent time you fell for this trap! https://youtube.com/shorts/iPLe6N2GaXg?si=J-1O8mr-Yv0MUj_t
