    Reframe your delivery. When we tell people not to do something, that’s the first thing they think of.

    For example If I tell you not to think of an elephant, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind?

    So here’s the solution: Redirect her to other things /activities so it takes her mind off of the bad thing she’s about to do.
