Ami is really, really good at asking for what she wants. (No Ami, you can’t have a two-person car, colour magenta, that Scarlett drives you in while I run alongside shouting driving instructions through the window).

And both our girls are very good at saying no to requests that they don’t want to accept. (Which means we need to be very good at distinguishing when we are making a request, and when we are just telling them what’s going to happen).

Two skills that we as adults tend to struggle with. Asking for what we want. And saying no.
