What Happen When You Say NO To Your Child (paperback)

Parenting doesn't come with a manual, but learning how to say "no" with confidence may be one of the most important skills you ever develop.

Have you ever set a limit with your child only to be met with tears, arguing, frustration, or a full-blown meltdown?

Do you sometimes find yourself giving in simply because you're exhausted from the constant power struggles?

If so, you're not alone.

What Happens When You Say No to Your Child is a practical, compassionate guide designed to help parents set healthy boundaries while maintaining strong, loving relationships with their children.

Written by retired Occupational Therapist and parenting advocate Runell Packer, OTR/L (Ret.), this book provides clear, real-world strategies that help children develop emotional resilience, responsibility, self-control, and respect—without relying on yelling, threats, punishment, guilt, or endless negotiations.

Inside this book, you'll discover how to:

• Set clear and effective boundaries your child can understand

• Stay calm when your child becomes upset or emotionally overwhelmed

• Help children learn to manage disappointment and frustration
