To be very honest, we probably heard a lot of "don't do this" and don't touch that" when we were kids, and we haven't suffered very severely because of it! <em>PreSchool Mama's last blog post..<a href='http://preschoolmama.com/index.php/2008/03/31/time-management-tip-preschool-activity-calendar/' rel="nofollow">Time Management Tip: Make a PreSchool Activity Calendar</a></em> I have to agree with Bettina.

Raising children is a very personal thing and this type of communication is very important to me. For me focusing on the issue not the child, positive not the negative and looking for a solution not to blame are integral parts of building children who are going to be able to deal with failure/rejection/tragedy by using their problem solving skills and postive attitude. It is so true that it is necesary for children to experience disappointment and failure through out their life, as this is the way of things and developing resilience only comes from real life experience.
