Many parents say the word "no" too often.
It happens that mothers and fathers sharply refuse their children when they ask to buy another toy.
The word “no” can also come from the mouth of parents if the child wants another dessert.
But the problem is that frequent refusals can lead to the baby trusting his mother and father less.
What to say instead of "no"
At the store, your child asked you to buy him a cake? But you don’t want to spend money on an expensive treat? Or do you think that your child eats sweets often anyway?
Don't use the word "no." This will upset your child and make you seem greedy or too strict.
It's better to offer your child an alternative. You can say: "Cake is a festive food. You shouldn't eat it too often. Let's buy cookies/yogurt/cheese instead."
It is unlikely that the child will be too principled. Most likely, he will agree.
It will be very convenient. On the one hand, parents will not have to buy expensive and not very healthy food again. On the other hand, there is no direct refusal.
Try to find alternatives in other situations too. Compromise is always better than a quarrel.
