Kids don't just want boundaries, they need them. Today my 8 year old shared that she appreciated that we have limits on things like screen time and how much "junk food" we eat, and that honestly took me by surprise. We have always established boundaries early on with our parenting, and I have always found it to be really helpful with letting our kids know what they can expect. I think they find the consistency comforting. Clear, calm limits tells their nervous system: "You're safe. Someone bigger and calmer is guiding things." Here are a few boundaries that build trust, reduce chaos, and support emotional security in everyday routines in our home. What are some boundaries that your kids respond well to? Share them below so we can help each other out 🫶🏼 #parenting #parentingtips #momlife #motherhood
