(Hosting-NewsWire.com, December 07, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA -- The future of parenting seems to have officially hit, now that parent are downloading “Santa apps” that are a bid to keep misbehaving children in line. The move has recently been condemned by one of the nation’s top psychologists. With the holiday season officially in full-swing, parents are attempting to fake calls from Santa on their smart phones in an attempt to curb misbehavior. Santa’s ID flashes “incoming” on the screen of the phones, giving children the impression that he is clearly monitoring behavior and checking up on if children are being naughty or nice. Dr. John Dirving, a child psychologist, has slammed the current trend as being “not productive”. "These kinds of apps have made the Santa threat much more real and immediate and they could be abused by some parents in the lead-up to Christmas Day," he said. "What is the point in threatening something that you are not going to carry out? Is mum really going to cancel presents on Christmas day?" he said. "Empty threats are not useful as kids soon realize that there are no consequences." Irving states that the threat is nothing new, and it has established few effective behavior trends thus far. The Fake Call from Santa application provides an incoming call only, and there is no voice on the line. Thus, the illusion is rather weak. The app is compatible with the iPhone iOS 4.3 and later models. The second behavioral correction application is titled “Parents Calling Santa”, and costa $1.99 for the opportunity to “Call Santa” and have this “Santa” make three return calls with a “well done call”, a “could do better” call, or a “must improve or you will get a lump of coal” call.
