No!
No?
No No No No No No No No!
It is that damned word.
Which does not like to hear any religion
When she hurried towards the door to go out
“Oh, you know what I’m talking about!”
You must set a date, you must submit an offer
People are waiting for you and you need to take your child for custody.
You are paying for this. “
However, this two year old is standing behind you
It is in a world alone.
They have to say “no,”
And sees a world turning upside down.
I remember the word “no” when I was a little girl.
“No” was a bad word in our home.
My mother taught me to respect and appreciate those who are bigger than me.
“When an old man says,” Get up! Better to go down, “How high?
Say yes, then represent “
“Honey, I’ve been abroad for a very long time,
It’s time to come back. “
“Yes, Mom.”
“Do not look down on me, girl.”
When I tell you to take out the garbage, do it, because I said it! “
“Yes, Mom.”
“This is our little secret, do not go and tell anyone.
do you hear me?”
“Yes, yes sir.”
Not all seniors respect them.
I apologize for the word “no”
And my analogy to the word yes,
I go away from the very word that can save me.
My mother had no idea that she was putting me at risk.
I was physically and emotionally attacked by those who took care of me.
It is determined that when the largest,
That any child will be in my custody, I will teach him the words “no”
I will ensure that his voice is heard.
It is not necessary to always agree,
But I can validate her world
When “no” is a strong word, acceptable and respectful when you utter it.
Many years ago I invited friends to my house for dinner.
Among my friends came my best friend (Larry).
My friends were gathered in the living room, talking, laughing, and playing music.
My daughter on the side writes indistinctly on the computer.
I was in the kitchen, cooking, and overturned the pots when I noticed
With the tip of my eye that (Larry) is approaching my daughter,
He put his hand on her shoulder, and she stood up and stood up
She suddenly went to her room.
(Larry) looked his annoyed looks at me,
I smiled a rather strange smile
I kept cooking.
When my guests left, I took myself annoyed to my daughter’s room and asked her, “What happened?”
I did not respond at first because of my discomfort,
But she finally said, “Mom, I do not like (Larry) to touch me.”
I understood.
Somewhere deep, I felt insecure.
I approached her,
I said to her, “Tamarind, I’m very sorry my love.
I am really proud of you
Because you followed me and I expressed your rejection of “no”.
He was my friend. She was my daughter.
It comes first.
(clap)
Larry did not come after that.
My daughter is now much bigger,
It continues to empower itself with the word “no”.
I, on the other hand, still work on the word “no”.
I say “no” when a stranger tries to touch her glorious Nubian locks
She shakes her head and says,
“No, do not touch my hair!”
Or time called by a colleague of “sweet thing” She said:
‘No! My name is Tamarind! “
I do not always defend myself.
Yet I taught her that I was learning.
It inspired me.
Sometimes I look at her,
I remember the many times I wish I could say “no.”
Is there a time in your life?
Have you wished to say “no”?
When we practice the word “no,” we protect our space.
The word “no” says “Nobody messes with me.”
The word “no” says “Nobody messes with me.”
Let’s practice it together.
Next time someone asks you to give it a time you do not have,
Says
(Attendance): No!
Fabulous!
Next time a colleague asks you for your personal number
And you do not want to give it, she says
(Attendance): No!
Next time when your family wants to reach somewhere
And you have plans to spend a quiet night alone
what do you say?
(Attendance): No!
Next time
Your dear, expensive child yells “No!”
And you are on your way towards the door to hasten to go out,
Stop, take a deep breath, turn,
And remember her world.
I sit and meditate in her eyes,
Then breathe with it,
Tell your child what you said to my child,
“Tamarind, I understand you do not want to go.
It is not wrong to say “no” my love.
When I hugged her in the arms of the lovers and brought her closer to me, I said
“But you’re still going to nursery school.”
(Laughter)
(clap)
As you know, this is true.
She knows that you hear,
Because even when you do not agree,
Your heart says “yes” to her experiences
And “yes” to its world.
Say “yes” to “no”.
All with me:
(Attendance and Speaking): Say “Yes” to “No”.
thank you.
(clap)
