Should young children be shielded from the word 'no'? Nell Frizzell (a parent herself) explores the trend in parenting to minimise the word 'no'...
Its an interesting Q. but partially submerged within it is the question of how do children who've seen 'no' de-emphasised go on to deal with the issue of consent?
We already know young men seem to think 'no' really means 'yes' when it comes to sexual relations.... are we storing up more gender troubles?
