Healthy Friendships, Healthy Boundaries
We all want our kids to be happy, healthy, kind, and surrounded by positive, supportive people. Although we can’t control the future, we can teach our kids what healthy friendships and healthy boundaries look like.
We can teach them to:
Choose friendships that make them feel good. Friendships need to be filled with respect, understanding and lifting each other up.
Set boundaries that are firm and respectful. It’s okay to ask for space and it’s okay to say no when they want to or if something makes them feel uncomfortable.
Make choices that are right for them. Listening to their intuition and making decisions that feel true to who they are.
Taking time for themselves. Practicing self-care when learning to regulate their emotions is very important.
Speaking up when things feel uncomfortable. Being honest to their friends and to themselves when something doesn’t feel right.
Like different things than their friends do. Being unique is a beautiful thing! Encourage them to be who they are without thinking of what others may think of them.
Check out Big Life Journal’s printable on “Healthy Friendships Look Like…” to help you spark conversations about healthy friendships and healthy boundaries in a fun and engaging way!
