Importance of Setting Limits for Children

Setting boundaries and saying no to children is essential for their development as it provides structure, consistency, and a sense of security. Even though children may not express gratitude for these limits in the moment, they subconsciously appreciate the structure and closeness it brings. Children need confident leaders willing to enforce boundaries to help them feel secure and free to express their emotions.
