Safely enabling yes is different from always saying yes.
Not letting a child run with scissors isn’t saying that they
can’t ever use scissors. It means arriving
at the same desired outcome of cutting paper but in a more thoughtful way.
We know the homework assignment is due tomorrow.
Completing that assignment in a timely manner may mean going
a bit out of our way to buy scissors made for kids rather than the very sharp
large sewing shears that are up on the counter right now. That way, the child
can succeed with the assignment without a lot of additional attention from us.
Safely enabling yes comes from a place of love.
