@taypullen: Does it harm her or anyone else? I try to stop & think about WHY I am wanting to say no…. And most of the time I don’t truely need to and let her be #childhood #toddleractivities #connection #toddleractivities #mumsoftiktok #parenting #play #creatorsearchinsights @Rainkoat
Fr sometimes I go to say no to something and then I’m like but why am I saying no? Am I saying no for me or for him

I try to do this as well. Also I have learned not to “interrupt” their exploration with my own dialogue of “oh look what you are doing…wow…etc.”

my mom was this type of mom, i’m 21 now and still will always listen if she says no to something because i know it’s an important no.

Exactly!!! I started thinking this way a few months ago and it seriously makes everyone happier - I’m more relaxed, they have more fun, it’s a win win 🥰

110% this !! i grew up in a always “no” childhood, so healing raising a “yes” child when they really aren’t doing anything harmful 🙌🏼

You’re creating a more creative child, and that’s a good trait to carry on the rest of her life!

I understand this in a way but I don’t want my children to believe they get everything they ask for, because they won’t. However, if it’s something small like this, why say no? I love this

Cathychan1231 :
I stop my knee-jerk reaction to say no (ingrained from my childhood), and instead stop to think "why not?" clothes and toddlers can be cleaned later!

I need to do more of this. I have been lately but I know I can still improve. I’m overstimulated 100% of the time but working on me has helped.

Ah I love this. I’m the more relaxed parent like this but my hubs is more type A and she should look/be a certain way.
