Day 20 - Combining Love and Limits - Why Boundaries Matter

Parenting Children Ages 0-10

Why do we set boundaries?
• the foundation of effective discipline is unconditional love
• a child growing up wants and needs to know where the boundaries are and who is going to enforce them

Discipline develops three things:
• self- discipline (for morally responsible behavior)
• a respect for authority (parental and other)
• a sense of security

Question:
Have you tried one of the five love languages in a new way? What happened?

Giving thoughtful presents is one of the five love languages.

  • a way of showing our unconditional love
  • not only dependent on their behavior or performance
  • to celebrate birthdays, Christmas, other holidays
  • use presents to celebrate achievements or to bring consolation when they’re struggling
  • can be small but make big impact
  • find out what’s special for each child

Try to rank the five love languages in order of importance for you, and then for each of your children.

  1. time
  2. words
  3. touch
  4. presents
  5. actions
