The Importance of Saying No

Life According to Jess

*Content warning- brief use of the word "abuse".

Have you ever heard someone say something like "You don't say no to your parents!" Is that really a good principle to teach our kids? How much more important is it that they learn that they can say no and make their own choices? In this episode I talk about why my focus isn't so much on not letting my kids say "no" and more about the natural consequences of their actions, as well as why I feel so passionately about them exploring the use of the word "no".
