Episode 031 - Setting Boundaries with Friends
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Oh, where to start? Setting boundaries is a skill that most adults are still trying to figure out. For our kids it is a critical life skill that requires prompts, patience and a ton of empathy. Our podcast touches on when to teach our kids to walk away from a bad situation and that boundaries are more than ok for the benefit of the long term friendship. Friendship boundary red flags like aggressive teasing, unkind words, and non-stop bossiness can elevate to level ten so quick. Simple goto phrases can be a foundational goto for our kids such as "I'm all done", "I'm going to play something else", and "That's not cool". Setting boundaries = RESPECT.
