The return of 'no' to parenting: "It's impossible to educate without saying no"

Recent discussions in parenting emphasize the importance of saying 'no' to children for their development. Experts argue that limits and the ability to handle frustration are crucial for children's growth. While positive parenting has gained popularity, it often overlooks the necessity of boundaries. Many parents today struggle with the concept of 'no', fearing it may harm their children. However, studies indicate that children who do not hear 'no' may face difficulties in emotional regulation and social interactions. The shift towards a more permissive parenting style has led to confusion between authority and authoritarianism, highlighting the need for a balanced approach that combines warmth with firmness.
