How To Say No! To ChildrenWednesday 15 January 2003
According to the author of a new book, women feel obliged to make others happy. But an inability to say 'No' can be disastrous, especially where parenting is concerned.

A mother of four tells us of her own difficulty in saying 'no' to her children. How do you set boundaries for them, and resist becoming a slave to your childs every whim?
Author Corinne Sweet, along with Parenting Skills Teacher Noelle Norton join Jenni to show how to say it and mean it!
If you would like to send us your views please email Woman's HourNoelle Janice-Norton runs workshops and gives advice on parenting skills at the New Learning Centre on 020 7794 0321.
