March 29, 2002, Newsletter Issue #31: Saying No

Tip of the Week

Children donīt like to hear the word "No." Instead of saying "No," tell the child under what circumstances he can get a "Yes" answer. For example, your child wants to watch TV. The dishes and homework are still not done. Rather than say "No," you tell the child that he can watch TV after the dishes and his homework are done. It is now the childīs choice and not your decision.
