One main way my parents used the placebo effect on me was every year by telling me that Santa Clause only comes and gives presents to the nice kids, and the naughty kids only get coal. I remember every year I would be on my best behaviour just so Santa Clause can come into my house and bring me presents. Parents use this technique firstly to make their children happy, but as well used this effect to make sure that their childrens behaviour is "nice and not naughty." We all know that there is no Santa Clause but as a child we go through the same thing which is being on our greatest behaviour just so that we wouldn't get coal every year and instead get presents for how we were nice all year. Parents using that placebo effect personally worked for me and I can say probably worked on any other child that believed in Santa Clause. I also remember talking to my parents when I knew it was them and not Santa, and they told my sister and I that using that effect worked every single year. We wouldn't talk back, or throw temper tantrums just because we knew that if we had a good attitude then we would get rewarded from Santa Clause.
