If you always obey your mom, dad, grandmother, educator, teacher, then how can you say no to those peers who offer to smoke, drink? The ability to say no is honed at 3-4 years old, and at 13-14 years old it is too late. An important social skill of self-defense that was not developed in childhood is already difficult to develop. (V. D. Moskalenko)

The ability to say no is very important. Children who do not know how to refuse, ignore their emotions and easily follow the lead of others. For them, the risk of getting into a bad company and of acquiring bad habits increases many times over. If you teach from childhood that it is "impolite" to argue with your elders, you need to be obedient, you need to eat something, give, etc. - the child gets used to being guided, his desires are suppressed, wrong attitudes are formed in him, but his own opinion is not formed … Subsequently, such children suffer from low self-esteem, it is more difficult for them to understand their characteristics, to stand up for themselves at school, to take an adequate place in children's and teenage groups, and to find their friends.

To prevent this from happening, respect the child's right to choose. From childhood, a child should understand that he has the right to express his opinion: whether it be food, clothing or the section in which you want to enroll him.

Remember that the child has the right to protest, his opinion, his mistakes. And that the ultimate goal of your upbringing is not an obedient child, but a healthy and happy one.
