Children need adults to teach, supervise, and protect them. This Chat is about the typical concern of parents of young children when they tell their children, “No.” The questions answered include, “Do you say "No" to toddlers and expect it to have meaning other than just being harsh?” “There are times when I am not consistent in setting limits in public places. Any advice?” “How do you help parents learn to say "no" and set appropriate limits when that is something they feel uncomfortable doing?”
