Let's talk BOUNDARIES! In this episode, I break down what boundaries are, how we enforce them, and why they're important. Boundaries exist in EVERY relationship in every sense of the word, so how do they show up in our parenting styles and interactions with our little ones? As a toddler sleep coach, there are also a lot of boundaries that show up around bedtime, staying in bed, and what's expected. If we can be really clear and consistent in our boundaries, we can likely reduce the toddler tantrums and meltdowns. There's a lot of gray area here, so let's get into it!
