‘YES DAY’ MAGIC LET YOUR KIDS RUN THE SHOW (WITH A FEW RULES!)
Start with clear guidelines. Before the big day, sit down as a family and lay out the ground rules. Think of them as your Yes Day boundaries — they keep things fun and manageable. Common ones include:
Imagine a day when your kids get to call the shots. Ice cream for breakfast? Sure. Pajamas all day? Why not. That’s the magic of a “Yes Day” — a full 24 hours where the answer to (almost) every request is a “YES!” It’s a chance to say goodbye to the daily “No, no, no!” and “Maybe later” and embrace spontaneity, laughter, and connection. But let’s be real: Without a few guidelines, a Yes Day would spiral into pure chaos. That’s why setting a few ground rules ahead of time can turn this fun tradition into a memory-making success for everyone.
many kids don’t ask for wild, expensive things. They just want uninterrupted time with their parents, whether it’s building a fort, going to the park, or baking cookies together. Keep it simple and satisfying. A successful Yes Day doesn’t have to break the bank or wear everyone out. The joy comes from the freedom to choose and the feeling of being heard. You can cap the day with a movie marathon, a backyard campout, or letting your kids pick dinner (yes, even if it’s cereal and snacks). Make it a tradition. Yes Days are more than a treat; they’re a relationship builder. When kids feel seen and empowered, it deepens trust and creates moments you’ll all remember. So, go ahead! Pick a day, set some ground rules, and get ready to say “yes” to the joy that only comes when you let go.

The requests must be safe.
Everything must stay within budget.
All activities need to happen locally (or within a certain radius). Everyone has to participate (no solo fun unless it’s reasonable).
•
This sets the tone for creative, collaborative planning while avoiding unreasonable asks like “Let’s fly to Paris!” Let the kids take the lead. One of the best parts of a Yes Day is watching your kids light up as they brainstorm what they want to do. Encourage them to write down a list of ideas in advance. You might be surprised —
