Setting limits with children means setting a guideline for behavior—even when there’s not an official household rule. Since you can’t set a rule about everything, limits are those spur-of-the-moment guidelines that are situational. Setting limits can be challenging for several reasons. Sometimes, parents feel guilty about saying, “No.” Or, they want to avoid a temper tantrum that will surely erupt when a child has a limit imposed on them. And of course, partners don’t always agree on what limits to set with children. No matter the method, it’s frustrating for parents when their children push against the structure they set. Also, for some parents, it’s hard to limit their child’s behavior in the first place. Limits are good for kids. It teaches them appropriate behavior, what the expectations are and gives them opportunities to sharpen some of their skills. In this workshop we will discuss how to set limits calmly and confidently, and to be proactive, not reactive. We’ll collaborate on how to move beyond setting limits to engaging your child’s desire to cooperate with you.
The workshop will be led my the School Counsellor Ms Fiammetta Gioia and will take place on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025 at 8:45-10:15 in the PYP Outlook.
