I’m excited to share that my Autumn Series of Free Parenting Clinics is kicking off this month. The first one is: Boundaries that Build Connection 📅 Monday 22nd September 🕛 12.00 pm (noon) 📍 Online via Zoom 30 minutes, free to attend In this clinic, I’ll be exploring how parents can set boundaries without battles, and how those boundaries can actually strengthen connection between parent and child. It’s practical, down-to-earth, and full of strategies parents can use straight away. Staff, Parents and Carers can register here: https://anisalewis.as.me/theclinic (And if they can’t join live, they’ll automatically get the replay). Anisa Boundaries Boundary Tip #1: Start Small, Stay Consistent Big sweeping rules often fail because they’re overwhelming. Instead, start with one boundary that matters most to your family, like a set bedtime or a no-phones-at-the-table rule and stick with it. Children thrive when they know what to expect, and consistency builds trust. Boundary Tip #2: Use “When… Then” Language Boundaries don’t have to be battles. Swap nagging for clear “when… then” statements: “When your homework is done, then you can play outside.” It keeps things positive and shows children that privileges come after responsibilities. Boundary Tip #3: Model What You Expect Children notice what we do more than what we say. If you want them to respect boundaries around screen time, sleep, or kindness in language, model it yourself. Boundaries stick best when they’re a shared family value, not just a rule handed down. Boundary Tip #4: Build in Choices Boundaries don’t have to feel restrictive. Within a boundary, offer simple choices: “You can help clear the table now or after your snack, which do you prefer?” Children feel respected and more willing to cooperate when they have some say in how things happen.
