Constantly saying “no” is not the way to discipline kids! In fact, this can have several u intended negative effects on their development and your relationship with them.
✅ What to do instead
- Use positive language (“Let’s walk” instead of “Don’t run”)
- Offer choices to give a sense of control
- Redirect behavior constructively
- Reserve a firm “no” (if needed) for serious or dangerous situations
Remember, it is possible to discipline kids without making then feel that you are constantly saying no or discouraging them!
