22. "No" is not an effective parenting strategy
It has to be "no", accompanied with either a negative consequence or alternative course of action. And plenty of communication as the child grows older. I kind of thought Paddy was talking about what to do beyond saying no.

Although saying no is a critical part of the process and I'm proud of the Senators who said no today, whether it be Rice or Gonzales. I wish all our Dems would have said no.
