NO!
By Tessa Dean October 2022
The child showed his obstinacy and stomped his foot while yelling, “NO!”
“I will not put up with this,” his mother said and reached out for him to pull him over to her.
“NO!” he screamed louder and stomped his foot again.
“Do you want to stand in time out, Stanley?” his mother asked the obstinate child.
“NO!” he said but didn’t yell this time. He started to move over to his mother, and she caught him and quietly explained what she wanted him to do and that she wanted him to do it now.
Stanley slowly picked up his toys, put them away, and then started to get ready for bed.
