3 Steps to Effective Limit Setting

In today's episode I'm helping Adriana, a mom of 2 kids, ages 2 and 4 years old with limit setting. I demystify the limit setting process and ask Adriana to get clear on her why behind saying "no". Setting limits doesn’t have to be unpleasant. You don’t have to be harsh or angry.  It’s all about knowing your why, staying calm and present, communicating the limit with compassion and holding that limit knowing that kids will have emotional reactions. You don’t have to feel guilty or even give in. In fact I suggest using playfulness and humor as strategy.
