Such as counterintuitive fixes to a problem, or where a mistake unexpectedly results in an even better outcome than originally hoped for.

Almost anything with managing kids’ behavior.

If you want them not to do something, tell them a bunch of things to do instead. (It may be appropriate to discuss the undesired behavior later).

Want them to talk to you? Listen to them.

Want them to learn a lot and be successful in school? Praise their effort, and not their intelligence or knowledge.
