Setting limits with your child means setting a guideline for behaviour. There may not be an official household rule and since you can’t set a rule about everything, limits serve the purpose as situational guidelines.
Rules provide the framework for children to understand what is expected of them at home, with friends, and at school. While parents know that this kind of structure is important, it’s often challenging to establish and maintain rules at home.
Whatever your fears and concerns are, children need boundaries and limits to feel safe and secure. By setting limits, parents teach kids important skills that will help them succeed in all areas of life. It teaches them appropriate behaviour and gives them opportunities to sharpen some of their skills.
Give your child opportunities to show that he can be responsible with the limits you’ve given him. If he is able to handle the limits you’ve set, he can show that he is ready to handle more responsibility. Limits should also be set in regard to electronics. Many children would be content watching TV or playing on the computer all day long, hence limiting their usage provides boundaries and structure for your child. Set limits with screen time, exercise, hygiene, and other health practices that will encourage a healthy lifestyle.
