When To Say No To Kids?

By Sneha

Everyone must learn the art of saying 'no'. And it is so because if you cannot use the word 'no' then peril is going to dawn upon you. People may also start taking advantage of the same. The same is the case with kids. Kids start asking and become stubborn for many things. It is not at all bad to yield to your kid's wish. But, at the same time you have to keep in mind that they also need to be denied on certain occasions when the demands are not justified enough. Find out what are the occasions when you have to say no to kids for their good.

Say No To Kids

No Food- No kids like good and nutritious food. As soon as you bring the plate of food close to their mouth they will say a big 'no' to it. All they want is spicy and junk food. So, this is the right time when you have to say a no to your kids plea. But there is no use in enforcing anything. Just be strict enough to assure that they understand if they won't have the food then they cannot do what they wish for.

No Studies- Now who likes to study at a prime stage. You have to grow a taste and culture for studies in them. But if you have a stubborn child who hates studying and wants to play, then you must say no to such wishes. This will only harm them and they will end up scoring low grades in the examination.

Chocolates- All kids love chocolates. But too much of it might spoil the teeth and they might develop cavities. This is a very unhealthy habit and must be shed at the earliest. If you want to grow your kids with all healthy habits then make them change this habit of theirs and give some healthy food supplement instead.

Sibling Fights- Can you even name some siblings who never fought. This is something next to impossible. And sometimes the child grows so stubborn that they just want to win over the other sibling over all issues. You have to stop this and say no when required to their demands of being supported by you.

No School- Who will like to wake up early morning and go to school? But this is necessary and must be done. So, when your child become stubborn on the issue of not going to school and try making several excuses just say no to them.
