Yes, that’s the word that my OBGYN asked me to teach my kiddo after he was born. “Mommy can I tattoo on my face?” “NO!” “Mommy can I do a sleep over party in the middle of the week?” “NO!” “Mommy can I have a tv in my room?” “NO!” So I started by reading the book “No David” to my little one when he was only 3 months old. And guess what he said ‘No! before he even said ‘Mama.’ I was glad he learned the meaning of no. So when I said ‘no’ to something, he knew he had done a booboo and he would either not do it or cry. Now when he makes a mess, he puts his hand on his mouth and says ‘no’ even before we can say anything to him. Today he spilled some water on the carpet. He pointed to the carpet and said ‘no.’ Yesterday he tore a book and before I could react he said ‘no.’ hmm..? What should I say now? Any thoughts?
