Child that always does the opposite

My son (25 mths old) has this "habit" of doing the opposite.

So when I would like him to follow me, I will say "Adrian, pls do NOT follow Mommy". Rest assured he will come running after me.

This may work for now. There will come a time/situation when I would really like to explain things to him and tell him my real intention, eg do NOT use drugs, do NOT climb the table cos its dangerous etc.

What can a parent do to "correct" an "opposite-minded" child?

Any thoughts/advice?

Tks
 
I'm no expert but I've seen many kids do that. In my own family, every kid that does that we joke they inherited it from my uncle. I think you need not worry. They outgrow that. When he's a teen he WILL know what you mean.
