Setting Limits for Your Children As a Single Parent
Limit setting as a disciplinary measure provides the child with the guidelines he needs for everyday behavior
. It protects him from the consequences of his own passions and lack of experience and makes clear the known and prescribed consequences. It is then up to you, the parent, to enforce the consequences when your child oversteps the limits. The enforcement should be carried in a matter-of-fact way, without any anger or guilt feelings, with the child being made fully aware that the consequences are a result of his choice.
