On Episode 4 of Casey's Carpool Parenting, Laura Schneider, LMHC and Rachel Doerflinger discuss Boundaries.
We had a lovely momma on TikTok reach out to us and ask if we could chat about this topic. She said that her kiddo absolutely loves giving hugs, but sometimes struggles with keeping their hands to themself or honoring other people's boundaries.
Boundaries can be a difficult subject to teach young children, especially when it comes to hugs. Some kids really crave that physical contact to express their love. But we CAN teach our kids about boundaries in ways that they can understand and follow--with plenty of practice, mirroring, and of course, patience for our little learners!
