Say it positive (ly)
Don't cross your tips. Don't play with your food. Now, either of those and any infinite number of such statements could be said in two ways at least. In the negative or the positive nature of the statement/suggestion/directive/order/plea whatever. You can say it negatively or positively. Keep your tips from crossing. Whatever on the food, I don't do day care. I firmly believe that no parent should be allowed to use the word "no" until the child is at least six or better. Parents wonder why all that ever comes out of the mouth of their two or three year old are various iterations of "no". That just might be because that's all the kid ever heard since he first noticed people were talking. Kid does this. "No". Kid does that. "No". What a cheap way to raise kids. Just sit on your butt on the couch and shout "no" across the floor to the kid all day. For heaven's sake, find a positive way to solve these issues. There is a positive way to say every single conceivable sentence that contains the words "no" or "don't". Say it that way instead. Yes? As ski instructors, we'd really like to make absolutely every statement we make in the positive sense. Be that adult or child we're talking to. |

Point well taken.
For parents "NO" is probably the most used word to the infant child through adolescent. JQ Dancing on the edge "foot2foot" wrote in message ... Don't cross your tips. Don't play with your food.

Yo FOOTER
Spare us parents your distorted views on childcare, stick to something that is simple like ski instruction. To the group I know I top posted, sorry just could not scroll down on this crap. I have a sick 9 month old that cut my Mt Snow ski trip short been listening to a crying sick baby on my shoulder for days and have no patience for a uninformed know it all! Plus I always play with my lobsters prior to eating them.... foot2foot wrote: Don't cross your tips. Don't play with your food.

The problem is not from crossing your tips, it's failure to uncross them. Whatever on the food, I don't do day care. I firmly believe that no parent should be allowed to use the word "no" until the child is at least six or better. Parents wonder why all that ever comes out of the mouth of their two or three year old are various iterations of "no".

Just sit on your butt on the couch and shout "no" across the floor to the kid all day. That already happens and IMO is the reason that most kids these days (that I see) are totally worthless pieces of ****. Both, because they don't have any discipline, and because people have kids without preparing in the slightest. For heaven's sake, find a positive way to solve these issues. There is a positive way to say every single conceivable sentence that contains the words "no" or "don't". Say it that way instead. Yes? Or? Live in the real world and don't be such a pussy. As ski instructors, we'd really like to make absolutely every statement we make in the positive sense. Be that adult or child we're talking to. After all it's about marketing, not learning how to do something. Which is obvious by the way most ski instructors "ski". |

Humans are the only ones to ski or teach it. But every species in existance EVER has offspring. And most raise them. From worms to dogs to pigs, can't be that hard. The only difference is that humans have the choice not to. |

The only difference is that humans have the choice not to. And human parents are the only one punished when they fail, we can not eat or ignore the unhealthy ones like many species do! Every child that I have met I am sure there are examples of good ones that was not taught the meaning of NO was a brat! |

Most species do not have to raise their offspring in an environment which contains so many pressures opposing the parents influences. And in those cases where there are, usually survial of the fittest enters the equation pretty quickly. |
