Show Notes

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

  • It's okay to set boundaries without needing to justify why you are setting them.

  • How to communicate your boundaries to a friend or neighbor (with a sample script you can use!) to honor your needs without burning a bridge.

  • Effective communication strategies and suggested responses for setting restrictions on allowing one of the neighborhood kids to come over uninvited - and how you can respond if your friends or neighbors pushes back.

  • What if your neighbor sees that you let other kids come over unsupervised?

  • A reminder that both the mom setting the boundary and the mom receiving it could benefit from hearing.
