[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a degree in early childhood education and elementary education and I completely understand that using “no” too frequently can be problematic. Kids, especially toddlers, do better when you tell them what to instead of course. My sister has a toddler(my kids are older) and my nephew was starting to chew on the blender cord and so I gently removed it from his mouth and said “no.” She immediately yelled at me and said they don’t use “no” they only use “stop.” Is this a new? I’m confused what the difference in no and stop would be at this age?? [/quote] In my house we don't yell. That's much more important than "no" vs "stop". But, as a matter of grammar and diction, "stop" is a better in the situation you described. Better would be a complete sentence, so the toddler could learn what your problem was. [/quote]
