‘When Mummy Says No’ is a short children’s book, written and illustrated by Rumbi Chidawanyika. With a degree in Psychology Counselling and Therapies, Rumbi Chidawanyika emphasises the importance of saying the word ‘NO’.
Even though your little ones may be temporarily disappointed, it is vital in the long-term to explain the reasons behind the word ‘NO’. This forms part of the learning theory which explains changes in behaviour by practice. This book encourages conversations with your children to explain the reasons behind what drives the word ‘NO’.
The book concerns a series of scenario’s were a mother will say ‘NO’ to their child out of love. To protect them from harm, teach them to be compassionate and encourage boundaries. This book aims to teach and enlighten children to view ‘NO’ as a protective and loving word not a hasty reaction to their behaviour.
