Why Are Setting Limits Important For Children

Limits need to be set for a child. I believe it is very important for a parent to have guidelines. Your rules should reflect your morals and values, ones that you are committed to keeping. Most children want to please their parents by doing what is expected of them; setting limits will also be more effective if you emphasize on telling a child what to do rather than what not to do. Also by doing this it should give a child a better understanding of what is allowed as well as what the limits are. As a parent you will gain the respect and you are more likely to be effective parent if you focus on the rules that you believe are most important. Limits must remain consistently applied and enforced at all times, child will become more obedient.
