What is Yes Day for kids? As parents, our days often end with saying "No, don't do this," "No, don't go there," or "Not now." Saying "no" is essential for discipline, but have you ever heard of "Yes Day"? It's a concept that not only strengthens the relationship between you and your child but also brings positive changes to their behavior. In fact, psychologists believe that responding positively to children's requests once a month reduces their irritability and makes them more cooperative in following household rules. So, let's learn about "Yes Day."

What is "Yes Day"?
"Yes Day" means planning a day where you have to say "yes" to whatever your children ask for, for a full 24 hours. Its purpose is to give children a sense of freedom in decision-making.

Work First, Reward Then
Before you launch 'Yes Day', be sure to remind your children of their responsibilities. Tell them that to enjoy this special day, they must first clean the house and complete their important chores. This instills a sense of responsibility in them.

Set Distance Limits
Fun doesn't mean venturing out of town. Set a limit, such as no more than 2 kilometers, so you can easily help if needed.

Safety Must Be Paramount
Saying 'yes' also has its limits. Avoid any activity that is dangerous, illegal, or unsafe. Keep such things off the list. There should be no compromise on safety.

Budget Management
This is a great way to teach children the value of money. Set a budget for each child and tell them that they must fulfill their desires within this amount.

Punctuality:
The rule should be clear: this exemption is only for 24 hours. If they spend the day well, they will have another day next month.
So remember that the real purpose of 'Yes Day' is to share happiness. This day helps your children realize that their wishes matter. When they have complete freedom and a 'yes' for one day, they learn to accept 'no' more wisely on other days.
