Step 4 - The Essential Boundary
IN THIS LESSON
The "dance of intimacy" between a child and their family shapes boundary establishment. Initially, children rely on caregivers to navigate boundaries, learning through observation and interaction. Through trial and error, they discover where lines are drawn, often mirroring parental behaviors. This dance involves a delicate balance of exploration and guidance, with caregivers providing scaffolding for healthy boundary development. Over time, children internalize these lessons, forming the foundation for their own boundary-setting abilities, and influencing future relationships and interactions.
