444 | When to Say Yes (Sean Allen)

The Homeschool Solutions Show

This is the first episode of a 3 part series followed by "When to Say No" and "When to Say Nothing at All". In this episode we focus on a simple word that is often so difficult for parents to say to their children - "yes". Whether it's in answer to a request to go on a bike ride or in response to an act of obedience, so often our answer is "no" or nothing at all. Children are always probing, though, searching to discover the true quality of our love for them. We have to be careful that our responses to their requests (whether vocal or not) do not result in a lack of trust that will come back to haunt us when they are older.
