The art of saying NO! with a good conscience
Do you find yourself saying "Yes" to your children only to avoid a conflict?
Any parent knows that sometimes (rather, really often) we need to say "No" to our children, yet, many of us feel guilty doing so and instead throw ourselves into long negotiations that we tend to loose. So, how exactly does one say "No" without remorse?
Well the question should really be:
Do we want to avoid conflicts, and have peace and quiet every day?
Or do we want children that are mentally healthy and psychosocially capable when they turn eighteen?
