I am currently doing this with my son with just reading in general. I'll tell him he has to goto bed, and he'll ask if he can read, and I'll say no and turn out the light. Even though I know he has a flashlight in his room and stays up about 45 minutes after I close the door.

But how did you teach him to be antiauthoritative first?

My mum has done similar tricks to me and still does now that I'm grown up and out of her hair. But what if I just folded over and said "Okay" and went to bed when she told me to?

It's purely natural. All life strives to push the boundaries laid by former life. For kids it's a game to see who can get away with the most without getting in trouble

The brilliance is knowing that you would disobey. If you were the type that folded over she would have just asked you to read more.
