Boundaries

“Applying a boundary is not an act of unkindness.  Our boundaries are designed to protect us from unsafe habits and environments, they are not an attack on the other person.  Unconditional love is not synonymous with unconditional tolerance.  Asserting your boundaries does not diminish the love you have in your heart for someone; you can love them to the moon and back – but in a healthier manner.”

I am meeting too many parents who are being hit or verbally abused by their children.  Many of these parents then tell me that they let their child have whatever he/she wants because it is easier as their child gets upset and has a ‘meltdown’ if they say no.  Please do not take the easy path because it will lead to bigger problems later on.  Putting boundaries in and saying no to your child is another way you have of saying ‘I love you’ to them.
