Boundaries that a child might set sound like “Can you please stop saying mean things about Dad?” “You never pay attention to me. Why don’t you just listen?” “I don’t want to give you a hug.” “I need you to put down your phone and spend more time with me.” “I don’t like talking to Grandma; she’s always mean to me.” It’s important to listen to children when they make requests like these and to honor their boundaries whenever possible.
