Do our kids welcome the word, “No”? Do any of us for that matter? Accepting others’ “No” can be difficult, but celebrating others’ freedom allows us to love well and be free ourselves.
The next time our children are pushy or have a pity party because their friends won’t play their way or their game, let’s remind them that giving their friends freedom to choose is a way to love them well.
