Listen "202: Boundaries vs Rules"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I’m breaking down the key differences between boundaries and rules, showing how each plays a unique role in guiding your child's behavior and emotional growth. Rules provide clear instructions—like screen time limits or mealtime guidelines—while boundaries create the framework where kids can explore and understand limits with some autonomy. I’ll share how consistent boundary-setting helps kids navigate and test their environment, supporting their social-emotional development. We’ll also talk about how these concepts apply to adult relationships, focusing on how understanding and communicating boundaries is essential for maintaining healthy connections without trying to control others. This episode is all about finding that balance between structure and flexibility.
