Course overview
Lesson Overview

3.11 – Setting Boundaries That Match Developmental Stages: Boundaries should grow as children do. Toddlers need physical limits for safety, while teens need emotional and digital ones for independence. Age-appropriate expectations respect the child’s maturity level. Overly strict rules can suffocate growth, while loose ones invite confusion. When parents understand child development, discipline becomes a supportive framework. Each stage brings new needs for freedom and guidance. For example, a five-year-old may need reminders about sharing, while a fifteen-year-old needs guidance about trust and online choices. Matching boundaries to growth builds confidence and competence. It shows that parents are paying attention to who their child is becoming. Adaptive boundaries communicate respect while maintaining structure. This balanced approach promotes cooperation rather than resistance.
