[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]Actually with with small children too many words can be confusing to them. And in the case of a child reaching for an electrical socket, an emphatic "no" is the best way to get a clear message across that this is not only an undesirable behavior but a dangerous one. I'm all for positive discipline and I know what redirection is. Yet there are certain cases where a clear NO is a direct unambiguous message. Your nanny steered you wrong on this one.[/quote]
