[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] How is this even a problem? Teach your child to say: 1. "Larlo, I'm playing basketball right now." 2. "No thanks." 3. "." [/quote] DS is never going to say anything like that. He is agreeable and nice to a fault.[/quote] "Nice" doesn't mean "doing anything anybody wants you to". It is not inherently mean to say no. You can model this for him by saying to the neighbor boy, "Larlo, we are playing basketball right now. Would you like to play with us?" Or "Larlo, we are playing basketball right now. We'll be done in half an hour. Please come back then." Or even, "Larlo, no, we are playing basketball right now."[/quote]
