006: Parenting Essentials - BOUNDARIES

What are BOUNDARIES and what do they have to do with parenting? In this episode we explore the last of the three Essential Elements to a solid parenting foundation - the BOUNDARIES. Why are boundaries such an essential element to parenting? It is critical for our child's personality development and is a promise for our own well-being. We explore the concept of BOUNDARIES from the perspective of: a) something that defines an individual and talk about why that is important, and b) as a process of interacting with others - including our children - as a way to maintain a healthy dynamic between what we need and what other people need.
