[quote=Anonymous]I recently overheard a daycare worker yelling in a very shrill voice "Joey and Bobby, get down off of that! NO THANK YOU" I've heard others use that phrase too. I think it is idiotic. We don't talk that way. There are plenty of other options for gently correcting or redirecting behavior. There are plenty of ways to teach kids to be polite through modeling our own polite language and behavior. Saying "no thank you" in this context (as a deterrent or redirection for misbehavior) makes no sense in our language and also doesn't teach the child what they [i]should[/i] be doing instead or model how they should be speaking either. It is just stupid.[/quote]
