I say YES to this: If a ‘No’ is respected a child feels respected in many ways. His feelings are acknowledged, he feels that his words and actions have an effect, he is a person no less important than us. And this is a wonderful lesson in life. He learns that he is not less lovable if he says ‘No’. That it’s ok to say it, that’s it’s ok to disagree. If we let him practice saying ‘No’ in a safe way, if we accept his ‘No’, if we let him disagree, he will take this ability with him into the world, where – we hope – he will be able to say ‘No’ to a number of things he doesn’t feel comfortable with. And that is a truly powerful lesson in life... - Mamas in the Making
