The power of NO |

I was writing directions out on Friday and I had been listening to The Secret
cd's just before writing the directions.
Have you ever given someone directions either written or verbally?
And they take the turn you told them not to take?
It made me think that by saying don't turn right at the light just go straight.
That the person remembers turn right, they did not hear or see the don't.
My youngest great neice is 17 months and making her mom crazy by doing all
the things mom says no-no don't do that. Children seem to learn the word no very early,
and then seem to love to get that mischiefest (sp?) smile while they do what they
have just been told not to do.
Wow what if we always gave directions without saying don't turn here or told
children what to do instead of what not to do when they are very young. Its a
challenge when the baby learns to push food or drink off the highchair, but what
if it was ignored and instead another action was taken like was their face or
just pick it up, or put them down and let them wipe up the floor?
