EP 453: The Power of ‘No’: Teaching Kids to Set Boundaries | Craft of Fatherhood

Fatherhood Field Notes

Ned is discussing insights from the book Lovable by Kelly Flanagan, focusing on the importance of teaching kids how to set boundaries and say no. Ned talks about his own experiences as a father and explores how giving children the space to say no helps them develop confidence and healthy relationships. He discusses the balance between discipline and letting kids have agency, especially as they grow older, and wants dads to think about how their parenting choices impact their children's ability to set boundaries in life.
