I’m at this stage with my daughter as well. She says a very clear and confident “no” to everything, even the things she wants.
“Want to go for a walk?” “No” (proceeds to find her shoes)
I am starting to respond to her positive actions with “but you said no. Are you changing your mind?” - if her answer is still no I hold her to it.
