Toddlers are born salespeople. They refuse to take NO for an answer. 

They show up consistently. 

They exhibit persistence.

They use creativity to pose other potential solutions that get them what they want.

 

You, to say YES.

 

The truth is that these skill sets are vital parts of becoming a motivated, driven, accomplished and successful human, but at the tender age of tinyhood, kids need you to say what you mean and mean what you say.

They need you to set, then hold boundaries, as a model for what healthy follow through looks and sounds like.

Kids thrive inside the safety of clear, consistent boundaries.

Listen to the full episode to learn how to hold your ‘no’ without inciting a power struggle!
