Precious Pointer #3 "No" is a great word

Precious Pointer #3

“No” is a great word.

You can ease the stress of parenting if you teach your children that no is a great word. No can protect you from harm. No can eliminate things you don’t want. No can keep you on track to getting the things you do want and reaching higher goals. And no can keep you out of trouble.

Too many children are only taught that “no” is restrictive to something they want. If you teach them that no is a helpful word they will be more receptive to explanations that explain your requests or rules.

Seeking His Wisdom,
