Not THAT kind of hypnosis

Thing 2 was talking to me about hypnosis and that it was cool.

I said, “You are getting sleepy, you want to clean your room.” as I pretended to wave a watch in front of his face.

He said, “Not THAT kind of hypnosis mom, the kind that helps people become better.”

Apparently having a clean room does not make you a better person in the eyes of a 9 year old.

But actually he totally gets it. You can’t use hypnosis to make people do something they don’t want to do. That is why when moms ask if Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis can work for them, I say, “It you want it to!”
