Tonight with your 5 to 8 year old

The prompt

“Was there a time you said no to something and felt really proud of yourself afterward?”

What to listen for

A clear memory of standing up for themselves shows healthy confidence in their own limits. Celebrate it loudly, this is exactly the instinct you want them to keep.

Either way, reinforce that saying no to something that doesn't feel right is always allowed.

What this tells you

This shows you how strong their sense already is that their own no matters and deserves to be respected.

Tonight you know what to ask. And tomorrow?
