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
