expect your child to become persistent
and calculating to
that end.
Saying no to kids is about setting clear boundaries. It’s
about articulating what you’ll allow them to do and what
you won’t allow them to do, and
setting their expectations
accordingly.
Children have a tendency to test the rigidity of their
parents’ rules.
Until they learn otherwise, a simple “no” is
actually a “maybe.” They presume there’s a chance their
parents will capitulate.
If you want to assert your parental authority, and have
your children accept your decisions, you must be willing to
disappoint them. Their agendas
will often contradict your
own. The key is teaching them that you’ll stand your ground
once you’ve made a decision. A “no” will remain a “no”
regardless of the tactics they employ in an attempt to
change your mind.
