Children don’t like hearing “no” when they ask for something, but it is a normal part of life. Many children whine, pout and get angry when they don’t get their way. These negative actions can have a significant impact on a family’s well-being. Lovingly teaching children how to accept “no” answers is a vital part of creating happiness in the home. Once a child understands how to appropriately accept “no” answers, they become more confident, less anxious, more connected to family and much happier.
Nicholeen Peck, author of “Parenting: A House United,” has made teaching children self-government easier than ever before with this delightful tale of a boy who learns to accept “no” answers, and, by doing so, makes his own happiness plan.
