Kylie Kelce and her husband Jason Kelce have established a sense of boundary between their daughters and they understand when their parents just tell them “no.”
The 34-year-old media personality said she taught her children to “respect the word no” in a new episode of her podcast, I’m not going to lie.
In addition to just saying no, Kylie has incorporated the word “try” into difficult conversations with her daughters — like potty training and trying new foods.
“I like the idea of ‘let’s try this,’” the golf coach said, adding, “do it often at the table.”
She then clarified, “I know you might not think you like it, but maybe try it.” »We are huge on this. My daughters will say all the time, “You can try it.” You have to try it. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it. So we try it at the table.
The subtle change in approach towards new experiences would have changed their daughters’ perspective as it did not seem too rigid.
“Instead of ‘I can’t do this,’ it’s always a ‘Let’s try.’ Because if it goes well, great, and if it doesn’t, we can always try again later,” the mom of four noted.
Kylie added that replacing no with trying has been part of her mindset since becoming a coach: “We’re big testers in our house, because just like in coaching, I don’t like the word ‘I can’t,'” she said.
The podcast host said: “And they know that, so we try. It makes it a little more positive because it’s like, I’m going to try. If I do, great. If I don’t, I can always try again later.”
Kylie and Jason share four daughters, including Wyatt Elizabeth (born October 2019), Elliotte Ray (born March 2021), Bennett Llewellyn (born February 2023), and Finnley Anne (born March 2025).
