Gentle statements that support a child’s boundaries

Courtney J. Burg, Writer + Mentor
May 6, 2020

We disrespect their limits when we force them to hug. When we force them to eat. When we force them to share, dress a certain way, or “get over” what they’re feeling.

I usually get a lot of push back and questions regarding posts like these, all from well meaning parents who want to raise kind, polite, respectful children. I get it. But here’s the deal: we don’t get that by force, punishment, bribery or shame. We get that by modeling it first. We get that by accepting their intellectual, physical + emotional pace. We empower our babies when we set our own fears + insecurities aside and do the brave work of showing up for them even when it’s uncomfortable and unpopular. Our children CAN be trusted, it’s the wounds we carry that CAN’T be.

We will chat about this in our Conscious Mama’s Circle this Friday, 10:30EST. To get the zoom invite, sign up for my email list. Recordings will go out after.
