Letter 5

Dear Moms in Montpelier

Thank you for raising your concerns. Am glad that you are really in need of an advisory opinion.
I would wish you get to understand that you are not alone since all we humans are simply social
creatures. We tend to put much value relations that are around us to the extent of foregoing our
needs and own self. Get to know that setting boundaries that are healthy is fundamental to our
physical and mental health. How to do it is just as simple as life itself. You just need to know
whatever is important for you, your own values, what makes you uncomfortable, what gives you
had times to ask for and many others as opined by Allison (2000). However, all parents that the
nature of every single kid is to test and go beyond limits, the only funny thing being that such
like a kind of behavior among kids of pushing beyond limits is one way growing and in turn
becoming independent. Kids my push and try to challenge you in order to assert their individual
personality. Kids need boundaries in order to know who is superior over them, conflict reduction
and for purposes of family rules. As you have asked, the best way of establishing boundaries
without being seen as infringement is simply by: putting in effective communication
mechanisms, being patient, being consistent, and setting family rules and following through. I
just hope this will help

Thanks

Yours,

Abby
