Here are some of the myths that leave parents questioning how the heck do you even get started with setting boundaries 🤯😵‍💫🤔

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.

The word is thrown around a lot in pop psychology.
And like everything that ends up in pop psychology... it gets over used, misused and misunderstood.

So what actually is a boundary? 🛡️

🚩 Boundaries are the rules of engagement.

The expectations of how we treat ourselves, each other and the environment around us 🫶

Sounds straightforward. But the boundaries are not the same between people or across different situations.

The isn't one size fits all!! 🤯😩🤦‍♀️

That's why setting and holding boundaries with teens can feel chaotic and messy.

Which boundary matters?

How to set the boundary?

How to hold the boundary?

When to be firm on a boundary and when to flex?

IT'S A LOT. It can be confusing and exhausting 😵‍💫😔

That's exactly why I created Boundaries Without Blowups.

Shout out to the parents of teens that have regrets 🫶

🤦‍♀️ Weekend is over and you're overthinking all the conversations with your teen that ended in disaster 🤯🌋

🤔 Did you fall victim to any of these convo traps when trying to get your point across...

❌ Talk faster and with urgency

❌ Explained your point... hoping this time they'd listen

❌ Correct their tone...'Dont speak to me like that young lady'

❌ Try to win the point... 'Because I said so'

❌ Try to continue talking while upset... 'Don't you walk away from me'

Look we've all done and said things we regret

But you can build your parenting confidence, know what to say, to tackle those difficult conversations next time so you can set Boundaries Without Blowups.
