Cat Says “Not Yet”
A Quiet Voice, a Clear Boundary, and a Freely Chosen Yes
By R. Stanek (Robert Stanek)
About the story
At Apple Crate School, Cat wants to finish her block tower independently. When Buster offers assistance, she answers, “Not yet,” and Buster accepts her response without arguing, hovering, or asking repeatedly.
Later, Cat decides for herself that she would enjoy creating something new with Buster. Their experience shows that an answer can be calm and firm, waiting does not earn future agreement, and genuine cooperation begins with respect.
