•Psychologists state that children who never hear 'no' develop one-sidedly and struggle with real-life challenges, despite academic success.
•Harvard University research highlights 'Executive Function' and 'Self-Regulation' as vital for brain development; constant gratification hinders 'Impulse Control'.
•The Child Mind Institute notes that children lacking boundaries have low 'Frustration Tolerance', making them vulnerable to depression and anxiety.
•The 'Stanford Marshmallow Experiment' showed that delayed gratification (accepting 'no') correlates with greater future success and mental stability.
