How Do I Set Boundaries With My Children?

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the crucial topic of Creating Boundaries in parenting. Inspired by recently seeing numerous distressing stories of children abusing their parents, we continue the conversation from our last episode, Changing Perspectives. We delve into how shifting our perspectives can lead to healthier relationships and why setting boundaries now can pave the way for a happier life in the future.

 We have to have boundaries in life, not only to get things done, but in parenting as well. 

Here's a few tips for setting boundaries with your children 

Understand the Importance of Boundaries 

• Provide Structure: Rules give children a sense of security and predictability.
• Teach Responsibility: Clear rules help children understand their responsibilities and the consequences of their actions.
• Promote Respect In Your Home: Rules foster respect for family values and authority.

Discuss Boundaries Often In Your Home
