I hope you could kind of see the difference. |
I had never thought of it like that. We use no in a firm voice when Lucy does something naughty, but she is old enough now to know what she is doing is wrong anyway (nearly 3). It is rarely used for eg sitting when I ask for down, and is said in that instance in a lighter tone. I wonder if it would be too late to bring in the 'wrong' command and if it would confuse her?
