"No...!"

Little ones love to use the word "No!" It seems to be one of the very first words they learn to say, right after dada and mama. Everything is "No!" It doesn't matter what the question is, if you are the parent of a 1-2 year old you are more than likely going to hear an adamant "No!" even when your little one actually means yes.

Here are a few tips on how to manage and minimize "No!"

Try to make positive statements which will limit your use of the word "no". Rather than say "no, don't run in the house" try "use your walking feet please."
Try to make statements rather than ask questions because questions open yourself up to hearing a "no" response. "Please clean up your toys" may work better than "Will you please clean up your toys?"

Do you have a funny "No...!" story about your children or suggestions on how to manage and minimize "No"? If so, please feel free to join the conversation by leaving a comment below.
