TikTok video breakdown
If you want your child to understand what “no” means,hitting them isn’t the answer. The best way for them to understand “no” is for you to respect when they tell you “no”. 🙅🏼 It doesn’t matter if he just asked for this game. It doesn’t matter if I know he’s okay. It doesn’t matter if he keeps saying “no” every 4 seconds and then starting back up again or asking for a new game. If he says “no”. I respect it. This is how we maintain trust. ❤️ • • • #parenthood #parentingdoneright #parentinghacks #gentleparenting
