One of the great parts about being a parent is we decide how our home is going to be. A large part of this is setting personal boundaries between us and our family members. Creating boundaries takes time and effort. However, it is worth the effort. We are creating a family culture and a home where everyone is happy. We decide what’s okay and what’s not okay in our house. Also, while it is our responsibility to care for your children, we need to care for ourself as well. We need to meet our own needs or else we will be unhappy and may eventually act out on our kids. To avoid any explosive behavior, we create a boundary. We only have to set them a few times before kids know we mean business. We can prevent frustration, resentment, and anger through creating boundaries. Through simple actions and behaviors, we can help kids to see what is okay and what is not okay. It takes practice but it is a skill worth learning as a parent. In this podcast, LeAnn will teach you about the principle of setting boundaries. Come learn how to craft a one-liner to ask for what you need. One-liners help me be a calmer stronger parent.
