The Meaning of No for Children

“NO TO MOTHERS AND FATHERS”

In order for our children to become adults who can easily express their own needs in the future, we must give them the right to say 'no' today.

We see that they use the word 'no' much more frequently, especially in some developmental periods. Of course, it is not easy for parents to balance this process, to set limits and to give them the opportunity to express their feelings and thoughts by saying 'no'.

It is worth trying in this process, remembering that the first place where children will use the word "no" is the home environment, setting reliable boundaries by making them feel understood as a parent, and giving them the right to say "no".
