The Your Parenting Mojo logo and slogan Research-based ideas to help kids thrive is displayed on the bottom right.

My guest for this episode is life coach and reparenting expert Xavier Dagba, who is here to discuss the topic of boundaries in parenting.

We don’t tend to learn much about having boundaries when we’re young, because our culture teaches that children shouldn’t really need or have them (and those of us who are using respectful parenting approaches are working against the tide here).  This then translates to us not knowing how to set boundaries as adults, and feeling ‘walked all over’ – without fully understanding why, or what to do about it.

We also talk about the limit between boundaries and limits, an important distinction as we interact with our children.

If you need more support in setting limits that your child will respect (and using far fewer of them than you might ever have thought possible – while still having your boundaries respected!), I hope you’ll join my FREE Setting Loving (& Effective!) When you learn how to set limits that are grounded in your values, you’ll hold them with confidence and you’ll see MUCH less testing behavior from your child.  We’ll also introduce tools to help you find ways to engage your child’s collaboration so you can really see a shift in the emotional climate of your home.
