[quote=Anonymous]I don't work for AP parents because so much of what you describe is NUTSO, but I do refrain from saying " no" as much as possible. I use it for really dangerous moments (toddler climbing over the back of a kitchen chair, baby sticking fingers in an outlet not yet covered, etc.) and it is so unexpected and shocking they always freeze immediately. Like PP I use alternative phrasing, like "we don't drum on the walls but we can drum on the couch or the floor" or "that (knife) drawer is only for grown ups but you can get some cups out of YOUR drawer" etc. There are so many ways to raise loving, attached, confident, secure children...I don't understand the OTT AP stuff.[/quote]
