Whenever my 3 years son is asking for something and I refuse, he will keep asking until I surround and give him whatever he wants. Am I weak? Maybe, but so are so many other people around us. What children are doing is called persistence. They simply keep asking until they get what they want. Unfortunately, we loose this skill with age.
