WHY?!? Please tell me why are children are always pushing the limits?
Answer: To learn how the world works.
Boundaries serve a very important role in kids’ lives. They’re not just for keeping kids safe. Boundaries also teach. Boundaries teach your child what they are capable of and what they need to get better at. What is safe and what will hurt them. It shows them how their behavior affects others and how they need to treat others.
Your children need boundaries to grow up ready for how the real world works.
