RLL #215: Helping Our Kids Set Healthy Boundaries

Raising Lifelong Learners - Podcast tekijän mukaan Colleen Kessler - Keskiviikkoisin

Kategoriat:

Today Colleen is talking about helping our children draw healthy boundaries, with the example of family members wanting a hug when our child is not comfortable giving one.  This question was submitted during one of the group coaching events in The Learners Lab, a Raising Lifelong Learners online community for neurodiverse homeschooling families.  Each month in the Lab Colleen hosts a group coaching night.  Parents can submit their questions ahead of time and Colleen will take the time to answer each one. One goal we have for our neurodiverse kids is the ability to advocate for themselves as they grow older.  One of the best ways to do this is by honoring their needs.  Perhaps you have a child with a sensory struggle, anxiety around others, or becomes easily overwhelmed in new environments.  When we acknowledge their limits and draw healthy boundaries we teach our kids that it is healthy to know what they need and express it kindly to others.
