I’m Glad You Know How To Say ‘No,’ But Could You Please Stop Yelling It At Me?

03/06/2018 1 Comment

The struggle is real. While I am admittedly proud of my children’s “smart mouth,” I often find myself thinking: “I’m glad you know how to say ‘no,’ but could you please stop yelling it at me?” It is a fine line us parents must ride between encouraging our children to find, define, and use their voice,…
