      You mentionned the most important rules. The say no rule is very important and explain them why saying no is so important. You described it in one of your previous articles.

      Hi Erik
      allowing kids to practice saying “no” is indeed very important. The article is linked to in the Saying No link.
      Many people, freak out about allowing kids choice and the freedom of saying no. I would rather have an assertive child than a child who is sexually offended against again and again.
      How do parents in Belgium react to allowing their children to Say No?
