Boundaries Are Really Important

Boundaries are critical, for you and for the children in your care. Establishing and maintaining boundaries helps teach children their importance, gives them the tools to establish their own, and to form appropriate and healthy relationships with other adults. You can avoid even a misconception of inappropriate behavior by upholding the boundaries you have established for yourself, allowing you more freedom to care for the children in your life.

Los Límites Son Muy Importantes

Los límites son muy importantes, para usted y para los niños que están a su cargo. El establecimiento y mantenimiento de límites ayuda a que los niños entiendan la importancia de los “límites”, los cuales les otorgan herramientas para establecer los suyos y establecer relaciones apropiadas y saludables con otros adultos. Usted puede evitar incluso errores de concepto acerca de un comportamiento inapropiado, manteniendo los límites que ha establecido para usted mismo/a y permitiendo más libertad para cuidar a los niños que están a su alrededor.
