Setting boundaries with children can be a challenge. Here are some tips to help you: 1) Explain why you’re setting a boundary. For example, “I need time to myself,” or “It’s time for bed.” 2) Stick to your boundaries. Don’t let your children push you around. If they break the boundary, disciplinize them according to the severity of the offense. 3) Respect your child’s feelings. Even if they don’t understand why you’re setting a boundary, they may feel upset or angry. Take the time to explain why you’re doing what you’re doing. 4) Be consistent. Children learn best when their expectations are consistently reinforced. 5) Be patient. Trying to set boundaries with children can be tough, but it will work over time if you stay consistent and patient.
