Isn't it safer to have "no" be your default answer when your kids make a request? In this episode, we take a look at some counter-intuitive benefits to being more intentional when rarely saying no, and instead, saying yes more often.

After a brief explanation of the concept, we’re joined by our 29 year old daughter for some real-life stories of what this has meant to her from her perspective growing up, and her own application in her parenting.

Finally, we’ll leave you with a couple of practical ways you can put this counter-intuitive concept into practice depending on what stage your kids are in.

As always, we don’t expect everyone to agree that this concept is correct or is right for your family but if it gets you thinking and more intentional with your parenting then it’s worthwhile.
