do you say no, then give in?

Do you recognize this cycle?

You say no.
Your child whines, cries, or protests 
in some way.
After some tears or a tantrum,
you give in and end up saying yes
anyhow.

These instances can be a red-flag
to "just say yes" 
from the get-go.
​

Keep an eye out this week,
when are you likely to say no,
but then give in.
See if it's something
you could "just say yes" to
from the beginning.

Liberate yourself 
with a big old yes!

This will conserve your energy
and hopefully help increase
cooperation for when parenting
follow-through is truly needed.

And this week,
if you feel like
you're giving in too much,
we'll talk about
some of the most effective ways
to engage cooperation
and follow through
in next week's tool.

This week,
wishing you clarity
in your mind and heart
to avoid the cycle of
Saying "no," ------>
your children protesting
-----> then you give in."

If it feels right, 
liberate yourself with a big ol' YES
from the get-go!
