The way we set limits has such profound implications for our parenting: it\u2019s the difference between parenting in a constant state of anxiety, and being truly calm and confident that you\u2019re making the right decisions as you move through your day.\nIf we set ineffective limits, our child never knows where we stand. They push and push and push because they know we will allow it, then finally we blow up because they pushed us TOO FAR and they end up in tears (or angry) and we end up angry (or in tears, or both).\nBut doesn\u2019t setting limits mean being \u201charsh\u201d or \u201cpunitive\u201d? Not at all! When we set the right limits (by which I mean the right limits for your family), you can hold those limits effectively and the testing behavior will diminish dramatically.\nThe result? More harmony at home. Less uncertainty for you. More confidence for your child.
