He is such a easy going kid now. We always get comments on how well behaved he is but I think it is because we let him be when he was younger.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920326845870515381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976804663862684667.post-47225825094697355992008-03-25T20:44:00.000-04:002008-03-25T20:44:00.000-04:00You are completely right.

It's hard being the parent, between the two generations, and saying-it's ok to both the younger and older family members. <BR/><BR/>We did not say no very often to Miles for the same reasons you wrote about, and yet, he tests his boundaries by saying no to us. All children do this. Just hang tight when it happens.rev joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03647649762070585700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976804663862684667.post-76335853698232650422008-03-25T16:09:00.000-04:002008-03-25T16:09:00.000-04:00i have often wondered about the whole 'no' thing m...i have often wondered about the whole 'no' thing myself. i see so many kids saying it at a young age and figured it was because we are saying no to them so much during the first few years. i understand why we say it. we're trying to teach them, but i agree that we should be offering more positive alternatives rather than just a flat out no.<BR/>and yes to felicia, i think this should be applied to all adults as well. as long as we don't end up doing more that we can or want to do because we can't say "no"Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113622051986763040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976804663862684667.post-20542247944546344902008-03-25T06:38:00.000-04:002008-03-25T06:38:00.000-04:00I think this whole No philosophy can also be appli...I think this whole No philosophy can also be applied to adults. A lot of work environments could probably be drastically improved if folks found a way to avoid the word No and thought more about what they are suggesting :)Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16315635566608283734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976804663862684667.post-7643781124947662402008-03-24T12:42:00.000-04:002008-03-24T12:42:00.000-04:00Great post Stacey, made me refelct about my own pa...Great post Stacey, made me refelct about my own parenting with our three, will ensure my other half reads this too. It's goos sometimes to ahve someone else point out things that should be obvious, we all get a bit "wood for the trees" at times.Gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17979621132151870323noreply@blogger.com
