[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's dumb too. My DD knows to say "no thank you" if something is offered to her that she wants to reject. But if I ask if she's going somewhere I don't expect her to say "no thank you". That would be stupid. [/quote] +1000000 It sounds so stupid!! Drives me insane when I hear it. Don't ever say "no" to your kid (even "no thank you") or *that* is what they learn to say and also they don't really understand the negative. Instead use simple, affirmative statements. Kid is throwing toy: "toy stays on the ground" Kid is hitting: "hands by our side" Kid is yelling: "use quiet voice" [/quote]
