THE IMPORTANCE OF SETTING LIMITS FOR YOUR CHILD!
Laurie Gozlan
“I know I need to be firmer with my child, I can see that he is testing me… but it hurts me too much.”
Here's what can help you:
🌉Imagine the limit as A BRIDGE between you and your child, and not as a cut.
When you set a limit, you connect with your child because:
♥️ You teach him the difference between good and bad
♥️ You make him responsible
♥️ You teach him to control himself
♥️ You teach him to make decisions
♥️ You make him empathetic (respect the limits of others)
♥️ You teach him to respect his own limits (by giving him an example)
The criteria for a good limit:
✔️ Clear, precise, short
✔️ Fair and well-founded
✔️ Explained with respect but without negotiation
✔️ Honor everyone’s needs
Conversely, a bad limit:
❌ Is controlling
❌ Aims to abuse his power
❌ Created a disconnection
If you still have doubts, you can ask your questions in the comments, explaining your situation.
