[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind it. [b]It helps the child focus on the fact that his or her behavior affects others. The "no thank you" indicates that the person saying "no" doesn't want the behavior and that there's an exchange going on. [/b] [/quote] Your reasoning makes absolutely no sense to me either, just like this silly phrase. How does 'no thank you' help the child focus on how their behavior affects others anymore than saying 'please don't do that' or 'stop throwing rocks' would? And how does it contribute to an 'exchange' anymore than other phrases? I just don't understand your justification at all. But whatever, as another poster said, we are all overthinking it I suppose. I just think it's a dumb saying that makes no sense and all the people in this thread justifying it haven't come up w/ any good reason (in my view) that it is any better than any other redirection or deterrent so I'll keep on thinking it's a dumb saying.[/quote]
