People Share Questionable Parenting Tactics That Still Affect Them to This Day

Learning to respect our children’s boundaries is fundamental in teaching them how to communicate with others. Often when parents fail to listen to their child’s “no’s and dont’s” they’re perpetuating the idea that not only will no one respect their limits but that they also don’t need to respect theirs.

Respecting our children’s boundaries will teach them to recognize when a stranger has crossed them, and that other people’s limits must be respected too. If parents fail to do that, the children can often feel angry, frustrated, and disrespected. So next time your kid tells you to stop, please listen!
