@getreeldad: 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

This is teaching them consent and teaching them that you will listen to them and respect their choices!

used to work with preschoolers, and it would break my heart when they were surprised that I'd respect their "no"

Also teaching him that no doesnt have to change affection or relations, there is no punishment, it is just a denial of certain things and love regardless

also, just a important: teach all safe adults around baby about consent as well! make that baby grow up knowing what having boundaries respected feels like. So many of us never got that.

My 2nd granddaughter was super avoidant of people other than her mom, dad and older sister. Never let others hold her, didn't talk to us, resisted all overtures. I followed her wishes the entire time and now that she's 4 she loves being around me, but it's because she trusts me to respect her boundaries 100% of the time. Kids deserve to have people respect consent, even if, like with me, it takes years. Sure I'd have loved to have held her as a baby, but I'd rather have her trust me for the rest of my life.

Taught my toddler to put her hand out & say “No thank you, back away!” Some people thought it was rude (I did try a more polite sounding version but she couldn’t say it). She’s now at primary school & another child was trying to lift up her skirt & she did the back away thing. I was very proud & it’s proof of why instilling that confidence to be firm is important.

I think he's going to grow up into a great adult. Also teaching him time out is a great one too.

My 6yr old doesn’t like anyone touching her. To a point where one day she asked me not to touch her. I waited until she came to me for a hug. It is so important to listen to your kids ♥️
