When Mommy and Daddy Say NO, They Still Love You

NO, Daddy says when you jump up and down in the car. NO, Mommy tells you when you want an extra dessert. NO, your parents call out as you run out in the street. These are the kind of responses you hear all of the time, to the point where NO becomes your childhood refrain. Does this mean that your parents don’t like you? NO, it doesn’t. In fact, when Mommy and Daddy say NO, they are doing so because they love you and want you to grow up to be a polite, healthy, and responsible person. In When Mommy and Daddy say NO, They Still Love You, you will learn why NO actually means “I care about you very much.”
