At first, William Wilcoff talks about the importance of saying no.

In How to Say No to Your Baby, the author explains that the baby is able to understand what you mean by saying no from the moment he or she begins to crawl on his or her toes.

If the parents have the power of word stability, their utterances and words will be effective when the child reaches adolescence, so saying no to the child from childhood is especially important.
The important issue with which William Wilkoff begins his speech is the reason for the difficulty in saying no.

Watching these crunches is unpleasant and reminds me of a seizure; Because the child is barking, lacks intellect and logic. Cramping may be accompanied by sneezing and crying, ending with deep sleep after a seizure, and like seizures, they are more likely to occur when the child is very tired. Fortunately, unlike seizures, cramps are not a threat to your baby’s health.
