Am I doing the right thing by chasing my daughter around saying No?
Answers:
I don't think chasing a child of any young age is good. I won't say i haven't done it though. I learned quickly it was the wrong thing to do, cause if he/she was to fall you would feel very quilty as a mother i can tell you care and I want to help first of all try to get the child to listen to you when it comes to small stuff , cause if they don't listen to you when it comes to that you better off not chasing that child and causing him/her to fall and injure theirselfs right ? !! It would better if you could get the child to bring it to you rather than to chase them for any kiind of object(s) next time it could be something much worse maybe a knife or gun God forbid ! SO PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU RUN !! Hope This helps.

Well, if she constantly hears "no" all the time, she will eventually develop the habit of saying "no" all the time, which is VERY annoying!
Maybe just take the things away without saying anything at all, and if she throws a fit, explain why she can't have it. Usually when I take things away from my son, he just goes and finds something else to do without throwing any fits.

Personal experience.
Everybody does it - everybody wants their children to be safe.
I guess "no" teaches young children something, and that at this age, an explanation would not be understood.
How does everybody like it when the child (in the terrible two's age vicinity) starts telling all the adults "no" because that's the word they've heard the most!
Watch the SuperNanny. It is a phenominal show with teaching children how to obey while not making a fuss. I was amazed at how she disiplined the children without any voice rasing!! It on I think on Mondays on channel two or one of the top seven channels. I just cant remember, sorry, but i do know its in the beninning of the week. Maybe someone will read this an be about to pinpoint the exact day and time for you. Its worth watching just even once. Believe me. How old is she?
If she's, like, two, then no real explanation is necessary (well, you should say something, but no real details).
However, don't try to make some of these things more attractive because they are forbidden. Let your daughter use a pen or pencil while sitting down, but make her put them down when she gets up.
TRY THE "THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS" - "NO" SONG.
you don't want to say no all the time, your daughter doesn't want to hear it all the time.
SET HER UP BY GIVING HER THINGS SHE CAN TOUCH, PLAY WITH, AND DO. SHE WILL BE MORE INDEPENDENT AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO RUN ALL OF THE TIME.

u need 2 discipline her, she needs to learn lessons meaning if she jabs herself she will learn the effect of that and never do it again It depends on how old your child is. If she is very young you should eliminate this problem by removing all dangerous items from her reach. That way you don't have to "run around" saying "NO" all day. If your daughter is older, 3+ than she has the ability to reason. At that age you tell her why she can't have something and hopefully she's smart enough and trusts you enough to get it. "Honey you can't run around with pencils because they're sharp and you could get hurt or hurt someone else. Pencils are for sitting and writing. Do you want to try to write?" See No problemo!
Well, the only thing that will do is have her telling you no when you try to get her to do things with you.
A suggestion that I use with my little ones that has helped me that may be good for you.
When she picks up something or tries to get something that she can break or hurt herself with try saying this. Thats not for you. Use her name when you talk to her, tell her the item is someone elses, or that she can hurt herself with it.
If its more pen and pencils she after, try sitting down with her with non-toxic crayons and paper, she will love it. Plus with you sitting with her, she will see that she doesnt need to get up moving around with it. Its a pattern that you have to set for her and she learns by watching.
Theres a good reason she likes pens and pencils, she must see you using them a lot.

How old is she? If she's a toddler, settle back and get ready to follow her for a while. I don't believe in saying no, unless there is, in fact, a reason. So say no, and explain why. That way, they won't think you're just saying no to be mean or because you are the boss. They need to know why something is forbidden.

That's what I did.
i think instead of saying just no you should say no do not pick up this you could get hurt or something like that so she knows what she is doing wrong and why she cant play with it
saying no to things like that u r doing the right thing cause as we all no children cant see the what ifs. u r only trying to protect but u cant say no to everything or they wuill say no back to u.More Questions & Answers...
