[QUOTE="Malika, post: 433569, member: 11227"] Not sure if it's a "one liner" but I have a humorous kind of technique I use sometimes when, as happens on a VERY regular basis, J wants something that is not good or wise for him to have; to get round the incendiary "no", I say, smiling "I want to whisper something in your ear!" This turns into a game, with him giggling and mock-protesting, and by the time I whisper the terrible "no" into his ear, with lots of exaggerated drama on my part, he is usually in laughing, cheerful mood and able to accept the boundary... But this probably would only work with a small child?? [/QUOTE]
