I'm french, and I have a mother that always told me "non" when I was asking something. It traumatized me, now I have difficulties to ask something, because I always think the response will be negative. So, when my daughter ask me something, I mostly respond "oui", to give her self confidence.
- jmnicolas 7y agoGoing from one extreme to the other is not the right way. Try to find balance. Kids need to hear no from time to time or they become insufferable brats. What happens when your daughter is an adult and hears "non" for the first time ? She will melt away. And will probably needs a lifetime to grow up and learn that she can't always get what she wants (which seems a common theme in western society nowadays).
