According to Dr Markham, saying no to your child helps with setting boundaries and limits, which aid in their development — emotionally, physically and mentally. Never saying it, Dr Markham says, can leave children ill-equipped to deal with the real world.
It sets a clear boundary and when used appropriately, shows you care. There are many ways to tell a child no, but not all of them are effective. If you say no to your child, it's important to show that you mean it.
There are various reasons many parents are loath to set and enforce limits with their kids: They don't want to be subjected to their kids' upset/anger. They're compensating for guilt related to past experiences with their kids. They have an unhealthy desire to be friends with their kids.
As your child gets older, saying "no" may still be a way to control their own destiny and make their own decisions. Think of it as a way of declaring their independence, even if what they are saying "no" to is something they'd like.

Autistics act in human ways. We learn in human ways and most importantly we feel in human ways. The Autistic child is entitled to say no. It is their right to say no.
Permissive Parenting (Indulgent)
Permissive parenting sets very few parental rules and boundaries. If there are rules, these passive parents are reluctant to enforce them. Indulgent parents are warm and indulgent but do not like to say no or disappoint their children.
Give consequences.
Calmly and firmly explain the consequences if they don't behave. For example, tell her that if she does not pick up her toys, you will put them away for the rest of the day. Be prepared to follow through right away. Don't give in by giving them back after a few minutes.
But if you don't develop self-discipline, it causes problems: health problems, distraction, procrastination, financial problems, clutter, things piling up and overwhelming you, and much more. So it's such an important skill to develop, but most people don't know where to start.
When a parent allows a child the ability to do whatever they want that parent takes away the opportunity for that child to learn many important and necessary life skills such as consideration and respect for others. The child also doesn't learn to control and navigate their feelings, causing extremely dependent people.
It stirs up resistance and anger and makes them feel that they are always wrong or “being bad”. As a result, they are more likely to take criticism to heart, compare themselves with others and keep thinking they just can't do anything well. This can damage their mental health in the long run.
Some parents do not apologize to their children for any reason. The issue may be related to the fraught intersection of morality and social hierarchy. Some parents who never say “I am sorry” quietly and truly are sorry.
The period of toddler development between 18 and 36 months can be a time of extremes. One minute children may be cuddly and cooperative; the next minute assertive and contrary. At this stage, children are typically beginning to feel their power. "No" is a very powerful word that gets adults attention.
12 to 24 Months
Around this age, your child's communication skills are coming along, so you can start explaining basic rules (like don't pull kitty's tail) and begin using the word "no," but only in serious situations.
1) Say no when their actions might hurt someone or break something. Preventing harm is the number one reason to say no. Children may have trouble anticipating bad outcomes, so they need adult guidance to help them make sensible choices. This kind of no helps kids learn to think ahead.
Acceptable means of discipline include withdrawal or delay of privileges, consequences and time-out. Example: The child destroys toys. Instead of replacing these toys, let the child learn the logical consequences. Destroying toys will result in no toys to play with.
So the natural consequence of screaming at the top of your lungs might be hoarseness or a sore throat or exhaustion from all the effort. Your parent's ears hurting might be a natural consequence of a sort, but what they choose to do about that is not a natural consequence, because it involves a decision on their part.
Harmful Effects of Uninvolved Parenting Style
Uninvolved parenting is the worst style of parenting among the four types because children raised with this parenting style tend to fare the worse. Neglectful parenting can affect a child's well being and outcomes in development severely5.
Lazy parenting is about intentionally providing your child with opportunities to develop a sense of self-efficacy, which in turn will bolster confidence, independence and responsibility. It's about mindfully stepping back to allow your child to struggle on their own for a minute rather than rushing in and rescuing.
Authoritarian parents believe kids should follow the rules without exception. Children of authoritarian parents are at a higher risk of developing self-esteem problems because their opinions aren't valued.
It's common for autistic children to behave in challenging ways or ways that are difficult to manage. For example, autistic children and teenagers might: refuse or ignore requests. behave in socially inappropriate ways, like taking their clothes off in public.
Nonverbal autism means your child may not talk at all or may talk very little. A child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that has not begun to verbalize by the age of four is considered to have nonverbal autism. About 25% to 50% of children are impacted by nonverbal autism.
Yelling at a child with autism can cause chronic levels of stress in the child and is not helpful in working towards a solution or strategy for change.
