So many people want to be a child's "friend" not the adult. Boundaries that are appropriate for the child are so important and it is up to the adult to set those boundaries. We should not be afraid of boundaries. Boundaries give us the structure for learning how to have a relationship with Christ and with others. Each child is different and needs different boundaries. I would really encourage anyone seeking more information about discipline to look at the boundaries that are set in the home and at church.
