No is not a bad word May 16, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Wendy and Terry share what they've learned around the power of a healthy no and re-framing how we treat the word when parenting. No can be a powerful word that serves your child well one day. Navigating how to teach how to use 'no' and when to use and stick to a 'no' yourself (while also getting your kids to do basic tasks) can be tricky. The goal is to get to a place where parents can be firm and kind and also determine when to 'bend with parameters'.
