Have you heard of not using the word no with your littles?
Did that sound crazy to you?
Because it did to me…… until this episode!
I learned the brain work behind it and how it actually helps gain our littles cooperation. I used to think we would be raising brats by not saying no do them or using these “negative” words. But it is not only with our littles that we can improve cooperation and listening, even in our other relationships this will help.
I know it may seem difficult but the first step is NOTICING. So we want you to atleast start noticing and paying attention to the times you do say “no” or “don’t do this.”
Then to learn how to change it we give you the tool of giving information so you know what to say next.
Instead of “DON’T LEAVE YOUR SHOES HERE, PICK THEM UPAND PUT THEM AWAY!”
You can try “I see some shoes in the entrance.” This will work when your child knows what is expected so those boundaries should be set first so when you say this they can, with more willingness, go put their shoes away.
It is pretty magical and will help connect you as well when you can learn how to speak to each other in this way.
Goodluck and go try it out!
