A vital aspect of a peaceful home, and (believe it or not) happy children is boundaries. We’re not talking a fence around the yard – we’re talking setting limits on behavior and activities that will help keep kids safe in the long run.
Joseph and Taylor discuss the seeming dichotomy between giving children everything they want to keep them happy and set limits and boundaries that they may fight against – but in the long run that help them stay happy and grow into well-adjusted adults.
They also talk about the need to set appropriate boundaries that work for your family. Choosing limits that you are willing to stick to. Because – giving in means teaching kids that all they have to do to get what they want is keep fighting ‘cause mom and/or dad will give in.
