I write about identity drift and how to stay aligned without blowing up your life.
Please Doesn’t Mean Yes
Your child asks another kid, “Can I use your truck? Please?”
The other child says no.
You say, “But he asked nicely!”
That’s the trap.
We teach kids to ask with kind words, then act like the other person owes them a yes.
A kind request leaves room for no.
