Parenting 101 : Setting boundaries, is it really that hard?

They say teenagers are bound to undergo their rebellion phase. As many as teens tend to repel, the more their parents try to reach out. That is how the family mechanism works—it is in its nature, and its relationships naturally develop over time.



Due to such nature, families tend to forget disciplinary lessons as an essential part of a children’s development. A person’s growth must be rooted since their early development days; thus, discipline must be a core principle for children. It progresses over time; attitude is accumulated through respective living environments. Personalities are partially derived from individuality—but it is also from the environment surrounding them.


That is why people should understand how important it is to set boundaries. Setting boundaries is primarily a hard time for parents—this eon’s culture and tradition has led to spoon-feeding and spoiling. For a child to grow up with an unproblematic mindset, the foundation of discipline must be consistent. Parenting is a core skill. For you to learn, you must learn to understand. However, as much as you orient yourself, you are still new to this type of teaching; it is abrupt and brutal to implement.


These problems are usually branched into this one issue, “How to say no?”


Disagreement is usually known as a negative response. It is likely to appear as something to be taken negatively, then constructively. However, if you say “no” in a way where it is reasonable, it should resonate with your children. For example, learn how to communicate by giving a short explanation of your refusal. Giving children reasons why you refused will allow them to cultivate their mindsets. It will provide them with a trigger to think, thus allowing them to infer that it is happening. Saying no might sound a bit hard to children, but they might be able to understand with proper explanations.



Do not cave in. There is also another issue about disciplining—consistency. In this case, you are not teaching a child to believe in you, but you are making them treat you seriously. Dominance is also a misunderstood concept in childcare where there are two kinds of these—paternal love and self-seeking dominance. These two are entirely different from one another, for paternal love seeks the betterment of a family.


Meanwhile, the latter is only a dog for dominance. People should be oriented that paternal love is also an important way of disciplining children. It is not overboard—it is for children to instill the lesson they have learned. As they grow, they will slowly but surely learn to implement such character developments into their personality.


These few tips would suffice for now, but there will be some times where discipline will go overboard. That is why we should learn when to say no to our dearest children.


Differentiating between right or wrong is an essential human skill. Values and morals relate to this; thus, it defines whether a person grew up violent or calm. The essence of this must be highlighted to children, which means parents should learn how to say ‘no’ if it creates a burden on people. When their actions hurt or damage someone’s property, this is one of the times you could say ‘no.’ Instill in your mind that you can also say ‘no” when they can do it on their own. Independence is a core skill for survival—and only parents can teach their kids how to do this. For one to learn, it is much better to experience it by hand. So if your children can handle it just fine, let them be and just support them.


A child should learn how to think and follow their own personal thoughts. Give them the freedom to express themselves and share opinions; do not inhibit them from doing so. Limiting their capabilities and beliefs will only make them farther from you; as much as you say ‘no,’ at least try to make it up for them by saying ‘yes’ from time to time.



Discipline would all be worthless without the parents’ healthy mindset. You should attain a healthy environment for your children, deal with your emotions appropriately, and not scare them. Hurting them will only cause trauma and resentment. Thus, you should learn how to handle discipline traditionally. Forcing your way in is not the ideal way possible, and since you are concerned about your child’s well-being, adapting to a child’s personality will also make an immense contribution.


Learning “how to say no” and “when to say no” are both mandatory things one needs to master in raising a child. You should fully comprehend how it works to lead a kid’s future to a better mentality. It should understand the concept of empathy and how to fill into someone else’s shoes. They should also learn how to acknowledge kindness and self-awareness to cultivate broad perceptions into their mindset. These things are usually seen as fundamental in a kid’s values, so you should immediately learn how to implement them in your children’s mindset.



Like how birds flock with the same feather, parents instill values in a child’s beliefs and morals. Some traditions will pass on from generation to generation; that is why parents are more self-conscious about what they show to their children because they follow. Since they see their parents as role models, they will copy them more. Learn to say ‘no’ if it is against your morals and values. The power of ‘no’ will eventually develop a child’s perception regarding principles and integrity.


Families are one of the constant things one can possess. It is something that will be with you and support you no matter what the circumstances are. You learn, rest, and cultivate your ideas from this environment. Parenting plays a significant role in this, as the parents play a substantial part in a child’s development. This text should serve as an orientation regarding how to work with authoritative discipline. A child’s personality is derived from its parent, not only with hereditary genes but also from its concepts of principles. Thus, it is the parents’ responsibility to take complete control of what they can do and don’t.
