[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually learned not to say "no" from my nanny. If she saw the kids walking toward a wall outlet, she would say, "that's not for children." It was actually very effective and easier for kids to understand than just a general "no." [/quote] Do you ever say "no" to your children?[/quote] Not often. Like if they ask if they can have a cookie before dinner, I might say, " cookies are for after dinner," or if they ask to watch tv, I might say, "you can watch tv after you have done your chores, finished your homework, and played a game with your sister." I actually find this is so much more helpful for them than just saying "no" and letting them figure our what I am thinking. I really appreciate my nanny showing me how to do this. [/quote]
