Q.

Hi Doctor. My son (2.7yrs) says no for each and everything, even very small things like wearing shoes/dress, changing diaper, washing face, going out, eating etc, he says no for anything and everything. Not sure how to stop him saying that, will this go away after sometime?

A. Saying no is a normal, healthy way for him to feel as if he has some control. Still, constant conflicts aren't fun, and they're often tricky to solve. Giving in sets a bad precedent, while being too strict or forcing your child to do what you want can make him feel helpless, scared, angry -- and even more defiant.
