Conversations that protect you and your kids are important. On the latest episode of Young & Healthy, host Bo McMillian sits down with social worker Ashley Cremeans to dive into the importance of teaching kids about boundaries from an early age. The team explores how setting clear boundaries—like allowing kids to say no to hugs or respecting privacy during dressing and bathing when age-appropriate—helps build confidence and independence.
We’ll also discuss how boundaries evolve over time, why respecting others' boundaries is just as important as setting your own, and how cultural and family norms play a role. Plus, we’ll share practical tips to help kids recognize that privacy is both earned and deserved, guide parents in handling boundary-crossing conversations, set social media limits, and more.
Don’t miss this insightful conversation on raising self-aware, empowered kids! Be sure to share this episode with fellow parents and caregivers and follow Young & Healthy for more expert advice to support your child’s development.
