[Episode 29] Boundaries in Parenting (There’s More to It Than You Think)

Boundaries! Parents talk about this A LOT. But are we actually talking about the same thing?

In this episode, Dr. Gila breaks down the three distinct concepts that get lumped together into the term “boundaries,” and why getting clear on the difference isn’t just semantic.

In this episode:

✔ The difference between boundaries, limits, and expectations…and why it matters.

✔ The key ingredients for boundaries that work.

✔ How to increase cooperation without compromising connection.

✔ What to ask yourself when you’re not sure whether to “hold a boundary.”
