[quote=Anonymous]To me, "no" would be "this is not a thing you should ever do" and "stop" would be "don't do this thing right now". Like if my kid was running ahead of me on the sidewalk, and they got as far as I was comfortable with, and I wanted them to wait for me to catch up, I'd say "stop". If my kid was talking with their hands at the table, and I could foresee the milk spilling, I'd say "stop" so we could pause and move the milk. I say "no" if it's not a thing I would ever want them to do. So biting electric cords, I'd say "no". I guess because "no" means "you're doing something you shouldn't do", it's a little more like a scolding, but I didn't avoid it when my kids were little. I'm not saying this is how other people need to do this, just saying how I use the words. [/quote]
