Summary
Why You Want Your Kids to Say, “No.”
A kid says, “No, I don’t want to hug grandma or say hi to my Mom’s friend or do this assignment.” The compliant child is labeled the “good” girl or boy. The child who is honest, speaks up, and has the courage to say no is often labeled as difficult and defiant. Kirk shows you why it’s critical that you teach your kids how to say, “No” respectfully.
