How To Say No Indirectly To Your Children: 5 Different Ways

1Instead of what the child is fixated on, try

a

an alternative like – when the child asks for finger chips every day, offer him some other snacks, that may be healthier or say something like – you know eating French fries every day is not healthy. It will make you unhealthy and if you become unhealthy – you will have to take medicines and vaccination, and you may have to miss your evening playtime.

2. Explain
Always provide a rebuttal for your NOs, like if the child is jumping on the bed, you calmly tell – bed is for sleeping and you cannot jump. When a child is throwing food – you remove the plate and let them know the food is for eating and not playing. Never shout. Keep your calm and say very clearly and firmly. If your child hits his friends, at school or siblings say – we don’t use our hands for hitting, we should talk. Let the children hug each other and say sorry to each other.

3. Try to Distract
Distraction mostly works in most of the cases. Take them outside, offer something else, show a moving car or a flying bird or something that may catch their attention, so that they forget the original demand.
