Let's Talk About Saying No

This book is a great way to teach kids when it is appropriate to say "no" and when it is not. For instance, if your friend wants to trade dolls with you, and don't want to trade, it is okay to say "no." When someone tries to convince you to do something you know is wrong, is it okay to say "no." But it is not right to say "no" if it is a lie (e.g. "did you break this vase?") or when your mother asks you to do something that will prevent you from getting hurt or damaging property. It also teaches about saying "no" politely when you don't want to do something, such as play with a friend. We often think of "no" as a negetive word, but this book reminds us all - adults and kids alike - that sometimes saying "no" is the wise thing to do.
