[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 589691, member: 1514"] There are several ways to go about this. First try to avoid the word NO at all costs in the first place. J: I want to color on my arms. Mom: Well that does sound like fun but we have to go do (insert whatever) maybe you can do that in the bathtub tonight. If J wants to do something else like getting a toy at the store. Mom: J, I love toys too. Lets look at all the toys and decide which ones you like best and write them on a list and then when we have money for a toy you can pick one out! Personally I always told my kids to look up at the ceiling and tell Santa that they wanted it but I have no clue if that would work for you. Even Keyana buys this one at 6. Now for times you simply have to say no, then you do it with no arguments or explanations. Just a short, sweet No. Its a complete sentence. The fewer times you actually have to say no, the more effective it will be. [/QUOTE]
