Sometimes the only way to exercise it and practice using it is to say 'no' to those people who have such control over the little life. I do agree with you though, that negatives are all around children and can stimulate negatives back. I always have seen my kids as human beings first and 'mine' after. They see me the same way and I heard my daughter tell an adult that she knows I'm her dad, but thinks of me also as a good friend.

Used when you really mean it, they have inherent power. It is the abuse that makes them week and thereby dangerous. No is no, and yes is yes. Used when you really mean it, they have inherent power.

Makes me think of the Maslow-pyramid, according to which all these thoughts are impossible when you are deprived of the most elementary needs and scared. Great comics work again!

The more the parents say it, the more negatively it will affect the child. No is such a negative word. I try not to use it that often, unless I absolutely mean it.
