“Is it ever too late to say No?”  That’s the most common question heard at a No presentation.  And it happened again in San Francisco last Friday:  “I always had a hard time saying ‘no’ to my daughter.  Now she’s 13 and out of control.  Is it too late?”

It’s never too late to start setting limits and saying No when you should with your child – whether your child is two or thirty.  It’s harder to change behaviors the older a child gets, but with consistency and follow through, your message will get through and new behavior patterns will emerge. 

That’s why the book No has a chapter with information, practical tips and parenting strategies for all ages.  Minnesota Say Yes to No is the campaign that encourages this conversation – it’s never too late.
