My daughter has a light schedule this week.  Last night, she requested to watch "singing bee" but since it was a school day and I said it before that "No TV on school days" then my "NO" shall mean NO.  I know I have to be flexible but to please her as much as possible may promote self-centeredness.

     Adult life is full of frustration.  As such, my child needs to learn how to graciously accept "no" and make the best out of it.  Admittedly, as a parent,  to mean what I said often hurts me; but my child's training and development are more important.  She must be equipped to meet situations in life where no one is concerned with pleasing her.
