Validating Feelings while Enforcing Boundaries in Parenting
In parenting, it is crucial to validate children's feelings while also establishing boundaries. It is acceptable for children to feel angry, but it is important to address inappropriate behaviors that may stem from those feelings. By setting boundaries and refusing to tolerate harmful behaviors like hitting or cursing, parents can guide children on expressing their emotions in a healthy way. This approach helps children feel heard and acknowledged, creating a safe environment where feelings are validated while behaviors are corrected with compassion and firmness.
