This is fantastic advice.
I have the same issue with my 5 year old. Sometimes no means no and sometimes it means, no but I actually want you to tickle me.
This is a good policy and I'll be using it going forward. It teaches clear communication and I really like that.
- lygaret 8y agoMy 4yo and I have been using "stop" to mean "use your judgment" and "stop for real" to mean exactly what it sounds like. It's been fascinating to watch her internalize that, start leading with the correct one, or sometimes have a late lazy "for real" as she susses out what she's up for.
