How to use "No-nonsense" in context?
advice for parents
Parenting can be tough, and sometimes it can feel like you're battling against impossible odds. But that doesn't mean you have to give up. You can carry on the fight with a little help from your no-nonsense advice. Here are a few tips to get you started:
1. Set limits. No one is perfect, and you shouldn't expect your children to be. Set limits on how much your children can work, what they can and can't watch on TV, and how much they can spend on each purchase. This will help them learn to respect your authority and manage their own money.
