Say Yes
August 22nd, 2007 / No Comments
“Can I build a tent in the living room?”
Sure!
“Can I paint Pokemons on the walls of my room?
Go for it!
“Can I have peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner?
Why not!
When my children asked me for permission to do things that are not dangerous, unethical, or immoral, I try as much as possible to say “Yes.” Even though their requests may be annoying, and stupid…well, you are not them and you are not a kid. When we were kids, we probably wanted to do the same things. Allow your children to live their childhood and save your “No’s” for issues that really matter.
“Can I go stay out till midnight with my friends?”
No!
“Can I spend the weekend with a bunch of my friends?”
No Way!
“Can I skip class today and go skiing?”
Absolutely Not!
