Book Reviews of Boundaries with Kids: How Healthy Choices Grow Healthy Children
Book Review: Teaching healthy relationships...
Summary: 5 Stars
At first it may seem inappropriate to have "boundaries" with kids, since they're so dependent on us for everything at the beginning. But it really is important for children to learn early on that they should respect the needs of others around them, and that it's not acceptable to focus only on their own needs, just as it's not acceptable for a mom or dad to focus only on the child's needs. Even very young children (my kids are 1.5 and 3) can learn that it's not nice to yell and scream every time they want a cookie before dinner, or that people are much more likely to happily cooperate when you say "please."
Teaching healthy boundaries to a small child sets the stage not only for her respecting other people's boundaries, but also for her demanding that others respect her own boundaries. Isn't that what being a 2-year-old is all about? Learning that she exists separate from Mommy, and that her desires are important, too?
In this book, Dr. Cloud helps you understand how to encourage your child's natural exploration of her own desires and needs *in the context of* relationship with everyone else around her. A child doesn't live in a vacuum, and it's good for her as well as good for everyone around her when she starts to develop a healthy sense of how to balance her own fleshly desires with a respect for others' needs. It gives her a sense of security to know that the well-being of the universe doesn't depend on her own happiness.
