1.The right attitude
2.The importance of it
3.Children's response to it

When denying children's excessive requests, parents should overcome their feeling of guilt and give a prompt and definite response.
A hesitation in a response signals parents' inner conflict. When children detect it, they may keep arguing and pestering, hoping to get what they want. On the contrary, confident and certain tone shows children that parents firmly believe what they say. and children tend to abide by it. Actually, children really want their parents to be in control and act with conviction in a kind and loving way.
Even when parents adopt this new attitude, for a while, children may still apply the old pressures that used to work so well. Parents should not expect a sudden change. As far as parents persist in denying their children's excessive requests in a firm way and accepting occasional slips with the change, children may gradually make improvement and learn to respect parents' decision.
