KIDS ARE CONSTANTLY MAKING REQUESTS. SOME ARE EASILY ANSWERED: “OF COURSE YOU
CAN GO PLAY OUTSIDE!” OTHERS CAN BE IMMEDIATELY DISMISSED: “NO, YOU ABSOLUTELY
CAN’T HAVE AN ALLIGATOR FOR A PET!” BUT THERE ARE SOME REQUESTS THAT REQUIRE
MORE THOUGHT BECAUSE THE OUTCOMES ARE NOT READILY APPARENT OR FULFILLING THE
REQUEST MIGHT BE INCONVENIENT OR CONTINGENT ON VARIABLES OUT OF A PARENT’S
CONTROL. THAT’S WHEN WE REACH FOR THE OLD STANDBY: “MAYBE.” WE ALL SAY IT. BUT,
AS IT TURNS OUT, IT’S DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD.

TIPS AND TRICKS
5 THINGS TO SAY TO YOUR KIDS INSTEAD OF “MAYBE”
1) STRAIGHT NEGATION: “NO. BECAUSE …” MAKE SURE TO PROVIDE REASONS THAT ARE
CONSISTENT WITH FAMILY RULES AND VALUES
2) STRAIGHT AFFIRMATION: “YES.” BUT MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER IS BEING AGREED TO
HAPPENS WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. RIGHT AFTER THE REQUEST IS BEST, BUT IF THAT
DOESN’T WORK OFFER A DEADLINE.
3) AFFIRMATION, WITH STRINGS: “YES, BUT …” WHETHER THE CONTINGENCY IS COMPLETING
OR ENGAGING IN CERTAIN BEHAVIOR MAKE SURE A KID HAS GOALS AND A CLEAR PATH TO
ACHIEVING THEM
4) THE DELAY DUE TO OUTSIDE CIRCUMSTANCES: “I WILL MAKE A DECISION ABOUT THIS
WHEN…” JUST MAKE SURE DELAYED DECISIONS CONNECTED TO NEEDED INFORMATION HAVE A
DEADLINE AND IT’S CLEAR WHAT NEEDS TO BE KNOWN.
5) THE DELAY BECAUSE YOU NEED MORE TIME: “I WILL ANSWER AFTER …” BE CLEAR ABOUT
WHEN AN ANSWER CAN BE EXPECTED. MAKE IT SOONER THAN LATER AND STICK WITH YOUR
TIMELINE.
