BOUNDARIES WITH CHILDREN: Why Empathy and Self-Awareness Are Important

Setting boundaries for young children's behavior is second nature for most parents: no hitting. Please do not interrupt. We don't take toys from other children's hands. However, as children grow older, social interaction boundaries become more important. They must learn to set boundaries for themselves while also respecting those of others. That requires empathy - the ability to recognize what others want and need as well as what one wants and needs. • How do children learn to set and respect others' boundaries? • Why is it important to teach young children to consider how others feel? • How can you help empower children to stand up for themselves when other children disregard their boundaries?
