“Communication Without Saying No”

We know that the use of the word "no" by parents is not very effective for tiny bodies.

Instead, in discourses that offer inclusive, healthy boundaries and make them feel understood, families are heard more and children can exhibit more cooperative attitudes.

-You can never watch this cartoon again.

“This cartoon makes you nervous. I want you to be safe away from this.”

- Enough of the junk food you ate today. It's over, you can't eat any more.

“We consumed a lot of sugar today. What ice cream should we get you next time?”

-Enough, how many minutes is this? Hurry, we're leaving.

“You had so much fun here today. You don't want to leave here, but now it's time to go. How about taking the subway on your way back? “

-Leave the tablet in your hand right away, you were always in front of it today, enough is enough.

“You have a lot of fun when you're on the tablet, but there's been enough screen time today. What would you like to watch on screen time tomorrow? “

-Don't play with your food anymore, that plate will run out quickly.

"I guess you don't want to eat any more, so I'm lifting your plate."

-No, you can't have dessert now.

“I know you want sweet food so much right now, you can have your dessert after dinner.”

-Don't touch him.

“You want to touch the lamp, how about exploring and examining it together? “

-From whom did you learn these words? I will never hear it again.

“These words sound different to you, but I cannot let you use them because they may hurt others.”

-Why do you keep pulling?

“I think there's something you want to tell me. When we touch someone, we touch gently”
