Episode notes
Boundaries vs. Requests
- A boundary is what you will do, requiring nothing from others.
- This retains your power, unlike requests that depend on others' actions.
Setting Boundaries with a Partner
- Communicate boundaries clearly, stating your actions based on the other person's choices.
- Focus on your needs, not theirs, to avoid resentment and maintain control.
Teen Screen Time Boundaries
- Control screen time with parental controls or clear consequences, not requests.
- This puts you in charge, not your teen's unreliable self-regulation.
