ABSTRACT We often hear and use the word 'no' or 'do not' to forbid or prevent children from doing something. Parents often fail to

notice that the word 'do not' has its own impact in affecting children's development and the way they behave in the

future. This research shows politeness strategies and figure of speeches that could be used to prevent children from

doing something. This research explores and examines the negative sentences used towards children based on figure of

speeches theories and politeness strategy theories by Brown and Levinson (1987). The objects (data) used in this

research are two books written by Annie M. G. Schmidt namely Jip en Janneke 4 and Jip en Janneke 5. The findings

show that enumeration, rhetorical question, bald-on record strategy, and off record (indirect) strategy could be used to

prevent children doing something and frequently used in both books, We often hear and use the word 'no' or 'do not' to forbid or prevent children from doing something. Parents often fail to
