Do you give in sometimes just to avoid a tantrum?
We've all been there. It can be exhausting and sometimes we don't have the energy to get into a battlefield with our littles. But we want to remind you of the importance and all the benefits of keeping consistent boundaries.
In this week's episode we will discuss:

1. WHY HAVE CONSISTENT BOUNDARIES?
2. WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN WE DO NOT STICK TO OUR “NO”
3. HOW TO STAY STRONG IN OUR NO, TO CREATE BOUNDARIES THAT SUPPORT OUR CHILD’S BEST INTERESTS AND DEVELOPMENT

It can make our job as parents easier and allow our littles to flourish. Creating clear and consistent boundaries improves our kid's self-esteem and decreases their anxiety.
We may have been raised with parents who said "because I said no" and that was the end of that conversation....
The problem with not having clear boundaries is that our kids will give us more pushback, they will be confused and constantly question what they should be doing because of a lack of consistency which induces anxiety that will come out in crying, yelling, and full-blown tantrums.
Boundaries are as simple as sitting at the table during dinner time, drawing on paper, not walls, or no sweets before dinner. These small things set our littles up for success if we remain consistent with them.
BUT you do not have to be too rigid. Allow for wiggle space as sometimes you can enjoy a sweet on a hot summer day. This makes it extra fun for you and your littles!
The goal is to make this journey more enjoyable so we want to remind you that with some extra work, it is possible!
