Think "is this really worth fighting over" before you startt he fight and then if it is worth the fight, when you do say NO it means NO don't give in. Also practice using yes more than no and your no's will mean more. Instead of NO cookie! say yes you can have the cookie after dinner, etc. I have two children and could go on for days but that is the best adive I ever got.
