Jehovahhthickness Dawg I Hope My Future Kids Respect Me Because I'm Such a Softy and I'm Gonna Have Such a Hard Time Saying No to Them Uncleromeo One of My Close Friends Uses a Don't Say No Approach to Her Parenting Style Its More of a Let Them Say No Style but It Works When They Ask for Something Like Can I Go or Can I Have She Responds With Is There Any Reason You Can'tshouldn't? No Matter Their Answer She Askswhy? Basically Asking Them to Elaborate a Simple Yes or No Doesn't Cut It It Builds Their Language Skills and Understanding of How Their Actions Yield Positive and Negative Results if They Know Their Behavior Hasn't Been Satisfactory They May Still Be Rewarded for Acknowledging It Even if They Try to Lie Well She Basically Catches Them in a Lie After Talking It Out She Asks Again Should I Let You Havego? Even Though She Wants to Give Them Everything They Ask for She Also Wants Them to Know and Understand What It Means Whether or Not They Deserve It and It Really Seems to Be Working Do You Guys Think This Would Work? -Lilli
