Ever feel like the villain in your child's story for saying "no" when all the other parents are saying "yes"? You're not alone, and you're certainly not wrong.

In this episode rebroadcast, we explore how to confidently say no to your children when other parents are saying yes, and why these important boundaries shape their character and future success.

• Saying no is harder but prevents severe long-term consequences for our children
• Importance of validating children's feelings before explaining your reasoning behind a no
• The benefit of offering alternative positive activities during the "withdrawal period"
• Key benefits include modeling how to stand up to peer pressure and strengthening self-control
