Nefertiti who turned age 2 years and 6 months showed a unique personality. Almost all of our orders, our recommendation, Nefertiti will respond with the word “no”. The word is very often out of her mouth at this age.
Drink it? Eat it? Bathing huh?
Everything is almost always answered with the word “no”. As if “no” is a mandatory word in her dictionary. Of course we made upset by the answer. How not? We’d love to tell each of us, Nefertiti immediately said yes. But is there, always denial.
But what is wrong Nefertiti if she preferred to say “no” rather than “yes”?
Without realizing it, we own the word embed it into her lives everyday. See, when Nefertiti was still crawling everywhere, we always say “no, do not go there!”
Or when Nefertiti up the stairs, we automatically say “no”. And many said “no” we always say and “cultivate” to Nefertiti.
Nothing wrong with Nefertiti now more familiar with the word “no” rather than “yes” as we had hoped. Then what should we do?
From a book, there are some suggestions for kids age as Nefertiti does not often say “no”. Like for example:
- Changing the words does not, in other words equivalent. goo
- Give praise when it was and do it quickly.
- Allow it to do something with certain conditions. It would be better if only forbade “No, do not eat it” an acceptable solution without children.
