“FAMILYTIME” Wednesday’s presentation will be about ‘Boundaries’ (setting boundaries to children)
Written by adminChris on April 25, 2012
Boundaries are guidelines between people about suitable behaviour and responsibilities. The ability to set, express, and maintain boundaries is an essential part of any healthy relationship. Boundaries build "win-win" relationships by making clear our needs and limits, while letting others know what options are available for meeting their own needs.
When fathers work with their children in setting and enforcing appropriate limits, they teach them skills and tools for a productive life. If you set and maintain limits, your children will learn from your positive discipline and develop their own sense of right and wrong and attitude of self-discipline. Sometimes we feel like spoiling our children a little is a way to show them love. But do they feel loved? Perhaps, but more importantly, they feel empowered to do as they please. A better sign of love is to see that our children develop positive child behavior by consistently following the rules.
