Creating Boundaries and Offering Choices in Parenting

Setting clear expectations and boundaries for children while offering limited choices can help reduce power struggles and create a more positive atmosphere at home. By telling children what to do instead of what not to do, parents can guide behavior effectively. Giving concise explanations for expectations can enhance understanding and cooperation. Additionally, providing choices when appropriate and being sensitive to a child's feelings can foster a sense of autonomy and cooperation.
