How to teach boundaries to children?
Isn’t it such an abstract concept?

It can be tricky to wrap your head around psychological boundaries — the ones that have to do with our Self, our inner world. These boundaries would have to do with the way we experience things, our emotions, thoughts, etc.

The good news is that physical boundaries are easier to identify and teach to children, and — most importantly — they are the foundation for the psychological boundaries.

That means that physical boundaries is the place to start.

And so in today’s episode, we explore examples of physical boundaries. These include more tangible things like, things, space, body, etc. We also discuss the two very important components of teaching boundaries, which are modeling boundaries and using clear language around boundaries that a child can understand.
