I've recently been really trying to push back when students push my boundaries or try to argue back when I have said no to something.

I've tried to explain to them, that if someone says no, that isn't an invitation to change their minds or to bargain or moan. I've said it may be uncomfortable, might make you upset; ultimately no means no.

I worry that if kids aren't taught this for simple things like "no, you can't move next to your friend", how on earth are they to learn it for more serious things?

Anyone else notice this? Any tips? Are parents just not parenting properly?
