boundaries

[Guest guest]

one of the most important things a parent does is set down firm but

just boundaries.

It is the nature of all creatures to bump the boundaries and try to

see if they're real and to try to push them back.

This is where it's extremely important to be firm and just and

unequivocal.

Do not ever threaten a consequence without carrying it through because

you will be sending confusing messages. But always make sure the

consequence is just and obvious to the situation.

Kids'll love you for it.
