re are situations wherein we can easily tell a child no, such as for safety reasons. Say a child is putting an object into an electrical outlet, we should definitely speak up and tell the child "NO". Other times, we may give in to the requests of a child rather than say no. For example [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we come home exhausted from work and the child wants us to play with him or her, saying no will give us time to rest but in so doing, we deprive the child of the time he or she will spend playing with us.
Are we right to sacrifice rather than say "No?"
It is instances like this that we willingly sacrifice rather than say no. Is it right to sacrifice endlessly? There comes a time when we need to think of ourselves too and we have to bite the bullet and say no to the child. Hopefully, with sufficient explanations, the child will understand and accept the fact we need time for ourselves.
When should you say "No?"
Normally, people try to be helpful to others. As we grow up [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there will be other situations when we will have to say no. Saying no is similar to stating how far you can go and basically showing who you are. It is good to support everybody else but in so doing, you may be hindering your own work and your personal objectives. For example, you’re tasked to finish a job by your boss. A peer passes by and asks you to help him finish a report. If you accede to his request [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you will not finish your own job on time. This calls for a basic "No" to his request. It comes to a choice of completing your own assignments and being helpful to your office mates. There are other instances when no has to be said, such as conflicts in schedules, choices between your personal well being and other extracurricular activities, and choices in personal and professional goals.
Saying "No" allows us to make our own choices.
Saying no allows us to protect what is vital to us. It provides us the flexibility to make the appropriate choices for ourselves. If we lose our capability to say no, we will be thrown in a quandary and find ourselves in situations we don’t want to be in. Say no when you are requested to do something you don’t like and you have the option to refuse it. Don’t be a martyr and take on the work if you don’t like it. You have the choice to refuse it and you should speak up and say so. Try volunteering for some other work that you prefer doing. Offer other alternatives.
State your reasons for refusal.
There may be instances that your intuition tells you to say no. There may be no reasons for refusal other than your feelings. State your apprehensions and trust your feelings. You will feel more at ease when you trust your feelings. When people step over your boundary and attempt to take advantage of your good nature, it is vital to say no. Show them that you value yourself and will not allow them to mistreat you. Saying no allows you to build up your character and provide time to the things that you value in life. At times, we need to say no as it may be the better choice for someone else, such as a child’s well-being. We provide the guidance to the child and are responsible for when to say “No”.
