Why It’s Important For Her To Learn To Say No?
Too many girls live their lives to fulfill the expectations of others. This is because the world, society, relatives, and family, too often force girls to fulfill various unnecessary expectations. This puts girls in huge trouble in a way that it wastes too much of their time that gets spent in fulfilling those expectations. Many girls don’t know how to say “No.” By taking advantage of this inability to say “No”, people use girls to fulfill their expectations. Because when a girl doesn’t say “No,” people take it as a “Yes.” And this becomes a problem for girls then.
Many parents teach their daughters from childhood that they must be nice and act nice in life because this is what makes a girl “good.” When this concept gets developed in a girl’s mindset then she hesitates to say “No.” Because for her, saying “No” means rudeness, and this goes against the teaching of her parents. So what happens is sometimes she says “Yes” to act nice and sometimes she maintains silence, and people many times take silence also as a “Yes.” This is how girls fall into this trap of fulfilling people’s expectations.
That’s why parents must teach their daughters that,
“Being nice doesn’t mean you have to say “Yes” to everyone and everything. And it’s 100% okay to say “No” to something you don’t want to do, or to a person you don’t want to listen to. You are not born to fulfill everybody’s expectations. You have a right to choose things you want to do and things you don’t want to do.”
By teaching these things, parents can empower daughters to make healthy life choices and save them from falling into the trap of fulfilling limitless expectations of everyone.
