Limit-Setting 101: Holding the Line With Love and Purpose

In becoming a parent, I’ve stumbled upon many things for which my life did not prepare me. A big (and surprising) one was the ability to set limits and hold boundaries. Through my work both as a parent and with hundreds of other parents, as well as my extensive training in child development and psychology, I’ve developed a comprehensive and sensible perspective on limit-setting. See my slides for a recent community presentation on this topic - I’d be happy to bring it to your school or community as well!
