Ask a group of parents or caregivers what their biggest challenge is with their kids, and Setting boundaries will probably be a common pain point. Boundaries are different from rules, and they can be more difficult to set. While a Rule is something that you make for your child, a boundary is something you set for yourself, like a personal bubble you don't want anyone to pop. We often feel okay with setting rules, but we find it more challenging to give that same importance to ourselves with boundaries.
