One way to set your children up for success is to establish strong boundaries in your home.<\/p><p>It\u2019s essential to begin instructing your children about boundaries between themselves and others very early on in their childhood. A child who grows up in a home where healthy limits are well established will learn to apply such boundaries in his or her own life, thus developing better self-control and the capacity to make positive choices.<\/p><p>What Does \u201cBoundary\u201d mean?<\/p><p>A boundary signifies a limit that a person has for themselves. Limits that people set can be physical or emotional boundaries.<\/p><ul><li>Physical boundaries. This limit can be physical and tangible, such as one\u2019s own body parts. This involves explaining to a child that his body belongs only to himself and that nobody else teaches him to develop a sense of his physical self. Explaining, \u201cDaddy\u2019s body belongs to him\u201d and \u201cYour body belongs to you\u201d is a good place to start.<\/li><li>Emotional boundaries. Another type of boundary is more emotional and than physical. Teaching children that it\u2019s not okay to say hurtful things to others is an example of an emotional boundary. Teasing would be another way of crossing a person\u2019s emotional boundaries.<\/li><\/ul><p>In a sense, boundaries are rules that you live by. Living with boundaries basically means, \u201cI won\u2019t do anything to harm you\u201d and \u201cI expect you not to do anything to harm me, but if you do, I\u2019ll let you know.\u201d<\/p><p><strong><em>Teaching Boundaries:<\/em><\/strong><\/p><ol><li>When you\u2019re raising kids to have healthy boundaries, it\u2019s important to allow your children to have and express their own feelings. This one can be pretty tough as it isn\u2019t unusual for some parents to try to suppress a child\u2019s healthy behavioral expression.<\/li><li>For example, if a 4-year-old starts crying and stomps her feet, what would you do as a parent? One healthy strategy to ensure your 4-year-old develops healthy boundaries is to help her label her feelings. Say something like, \u201cI see that you\u2019re frustrated that you can\u2019t have the candy right now. Maybe you can have some candy after dinner.\u201d Then, move on with life.<\/li><li>You helped her to label her emotions. You chose not to punish her or demand that she stop crying or \u201cStraighten up right now.\u201d As a parent, you just showed acceptance of your child\u2019s feelings. Each time you behave this way as a parent, you\u2019re reinforcing your child\u2019s natural sense of self and boundaries.<\/li><li>Another example is a two or three-year who throws a toy at their sibling. Again, tell your child that it&#8217;s okay to have and express angry feelings, but it&#8217;s not okay to throw a toy at others. During the episode, show no feelings. When you&#8217;re establishing boundaries, it&#8217;s time to be diplomatic. Be firm, but not frustrated or angry.<\/li><li>Simply state, &#8220;It&#8217;s not okay to throw a toy at your brother. When you throw a toy, you have to sit in a chair,&#8221; and say nothing more until the minutes have passed. Have your child sit in a chair for the number of minutes that matches their age (if they&#8217;re two years old, they sit for 2 minutes; 3 years old, 3 minutes).<\/li><li>After the time is up, thank your child for sitting in the chair and go on with your day. Hopefully, your child will not throw a toy again. Instead, he or she will see that you allowed them to have and show feelings without negative consequences, as long as they stayed within your boundary.<\/li><li>Expect your children to occasionally &#8220;test the limit,&#8221; or challenge your boundary\u2013this is completely normal. When these testing behaviors occur, think of each situation as an opportunity to show your kids the consequences of crossing the line.<\/li><li>Sometimes, there will be situations when you find it prudent to explain some boundary situations or \u201crules\u201d to your child. For example, telling your child that no one but a doctor when Mom or Dad is also present should touch your child where their bathing suit fits is an effective way to teach limits and boundaries related to his or her own body.<\/li><\/ol><p><strong><em>Modeling Boundaries<\/em><\/strong><\/p><ol><li>Ultimately, the single best way to teach children healthy boundaries is for parents to have healthy boundaries themselves and to model them in the home.<\/li><li>Showing respect for each person in the house, ensuring everyone has rights to their feelings and appropriate expressions of them, as well as talking openly and honestly about any challenging issues demonstrate healthy boundaries for children.<\/li><li>From the time your children are born, you\u2019re charged to teach them many things so they\u2019ll grow up to make positive choices in life. Help create happier, healthier lives for your kids by teaching your children about limits and boundaries.<\/li><li>Parents who ensure their kids grow up learning about limits and boundaries provide a solid foundation for their children\u2019s futures. Apply some of these methods in your home to teach your kids about having and maintaining healthy limits and boundaries, and your kids will thrive.<\/li><li>For tips on\u00a0creating boundaries with teens, <a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/uncategorized\/creating-boundaries-for-teens\/\">read our expert article here<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a parent, you may have wondered how best to help your children learn to make positive choices.
