Module 2
3. Respecting Your Child’s Boundaries
This one is non-negotiable. If your child says No, you stop—unless there’s true danger.
Why? Because this teaches them that:
Their body is their own
Their voice matters
Their “No” means something—even to adults
If they learn that “No” can be ignored, they are at higher risk of abuse—and also more likely to disrespect others’ boundaries, too.
Even if your child asks for help in saying No (“Can you tell them I don’t want to play?”), do it gently. That small moment is huge in building boundary-setting confidence.
📩 Let’s Keep Talking
I’d love to build a video Q&A library for this course.
If you have questions about specific situations, please send them to me—I’ll record personal responses so we can grow a real collection of support.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
