Dr. Laura Markham stated - children do what we train them to do - what we lead them to expect if we have parented permissively and do not set limits the child will simply never be used to accommodating appropriate limits. I chose to discuss this topic as I know many parents are utilizing gentle parenting. I know I have said this a dozen times but we should be gentle when we can be, however, we cannot overlook basic skills that our children need to be successful in life, and setting limits is certainly one of them. Limits cannot be looked at as a negative tool for your children as it teaches them appropriate behavior and gives them healthy boundaries and self-discipline.

Let us continue to sit and increase their limits as they get older, so they learn how to think critically on their own and grow into adults who are able to receive limits when given at work, in the universities and in life. May we continue to nurture our children to become healthy, high-functioning individuals.
