Establishing healthy boundaries helps increase confidence, decrease anxiety and allows people to feel secure.
Boundaries are at the most basic level what is okay and what is not okay with me. However Boundaries can be complicated, they can change, and we may not even be aware of a boundary we have until it is crossed.
As adults we still struggle with boundaries, imagine your daughter becoming aware of her boundaries and practicing setting them during the tween/teen years!
There are many kinds of boundaries:
-
Physical boundaries: Personal space. Is it okay for me to eat off your plate? Hug or high five? Knock before eating my room.
-
Emotional boundaries: How much personal info. do I share with my friends? What is okay to joke about and what isn’t? Am I responsible for making my friend feel better?
-
Energetic boundaries: Am I taking on other’s negative energies? Do I suddenly feel angry being around another angry person?
-
Digital boundaries: How much time do I spend on my phone? Who do I accept as followers on Instagram? Am I obligated to continue this Snap Chat streak? Do I answer texts at 3:00am? How do I get my homework done without distractions of YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram?
-
Friendship boundaries: Do I do what my friends are pressuring me to do? How do I not hurt feelings and keep my boundaries?
-
Parental boundaries: Letting my parents know if I want advice, feedback or just to be listened to.
