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.

The "parenting presence" is the inner strength and gentle wisdom available to any parent who is willing to spend time to get to know themselves. Parents who learn how their own emotional regulation works, how their needs are met, and how actions are guided by thoughts and interpretations — also discover an amazing source of influence and guidance available to them in parenting.
