I’ve hit up thesaurus.com to no avail The word I’m looking for describes my Dad’s wisdom in buying me a toy lawnmower when I was a kid, getting me to push the toy lawnmower along side him as he mowed the yard, and having me looking forward to becoming old enough to mow. Brainwashing, seditious, nefarious, etc are the wrong words as they’re too negative Suggestive as in terms of hypnosis is close For the smart asses, genius or brilliant aren’t the word I’m looking for either. What brought this up is my friends got their daughter a toy cleaning kit for Christmas and the last 6 werks she has been going around the house happily pretending to clean.

Prescient might get you close, not sure it's exactly what you're looking for though. | |||

Classical conditioning (e.g. Pavlov's dog) is pretty close except the reward was being like Dad not the physical reward like a treat. Operant conditioning doesn't fit as there was no negative consequences for not playing with the toy lawnmower Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

These things. Children want to do what grown ups are doing, naturally. My son has a toy lawn mower, and a toy snow blower, and more, because he wants to do what I'm doing. It's not a cunning plot on my part, and in fact these are useful things he'll have to do when he's an adult. The wisdom, is letting it happen. The idiots, are the people who don't encourage this behavior, or later have a landscaping company or plow service do the mowing/shoveling. I'm glad my parents had me do those things, because I don't mind doing them now. Arc. ______________________________ "Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed"- Johnny Cash "I'm a loner, Dottie.
