Hello great people 💕 it's another wonderful day today. I brought to you an awesome and inspiring topic you will love to read as parent.💃 on the tittle aforementioned 💖
Okay let's begin...
The word "YES" and "NO" are words to be used by anyone. Children are not exempted! Making it look as if children are to always agree to whatever they are told is uncalled for. Children have the right to say No respectfully, and should be allowed to exercise that right at the time needed. It is one of the duties of parents to teach their children to say "No" respectfully without fear.
Do you know that as your child learn to say "No" it will ease him/her from lots of stress, pressure, intimidation and abuse? Saying " No" helps your child to be able to express his/her fears, pains, joy, and thought and that will also help you as parent to know exactly how your child feels, what he/she is passing through and by expressing it, you won your child's trust. And by winning the child's trust, you will get more knowledge about your child's thought and there you can guide him/her through advice, mentorship and prayers.
Now, how so you guide your children to say "NO"?
Practice to say "No" by declining request from a family member, neighbors or friends helps children to also learn to say "No" whenever it is needed for them to say
Teach them to express their feelings in terms of saying "No" whenever they are pressuresd by anyone be it an adult or their peers.
On my previous post tittle: "Reasons why Adolescents needs time and attention" I stated that children should be allowed to make their decision themselves sometimes(paraphrasing). It is necessary and important as parents, you respect your child's decision on saying "No" instead of forcing them out of that. It helps them build confidence.
In some cases where the word "No" may sound harsh, teach them to say it in another way like: "Maybe not today" I would have love to but sorry, I can't!.
Teach them about setting up of boundaries. Let nobody come into their lives and do whatever they want to do to them without them being able to say "No"
As parent, learn to praise your children whenever they say "No" respectfully, that will encourage them say it where necessary.
Finally, every parent is a role model to their children,be it in good or bad character therefore, as parent, as you say "No" respectfully in some scenario, your children will also learn to say "No" as children learn by what they see.
Thank you so much for going through my post. I hope you've found something that inspired you to be a good parent to your children.
Keep following for more inspiring words.❤️
