Earlier today, I watched my five-year-old niece throw a tantrum in the grocery store because I wouldn't buy her a toy, and I wondered if setting firm limits is really better for kids long-term than giving in sometimes. Some parents swear by strict boundaries, while others say flexibility builds trust and creativity. I've seen kids from both styles grow up fine, so I'm not sure which approach causes less harm. From your experience, does saying no more often actually lead to better behaved children, or does it just create more conflict?
