After talking with Sarri, I'm convinced that many of our stressors and struggles stem from a lack of clear boundaries.<br> <br> One of the things that stood out to me the most from this discussion was that people will get very creative when there are clear boundaries.<br> <br> Think of what happens when you establish clear rules about media use. I overheard a conversation about how to have a screen-free summer. The consensus was that the best way to do it was to have a clear rule that there would be no media use. Period. If there are exceptions then there are ways around the rule! That's when arguments start.<br> <br> I'm telling you. It's a lot easier to comply, and get creative when boundaries are clear.<br> <br> There are many, many benefits to having clear boundaries. I hope you discover a few in this episode!<br> <br> Connect with Sarri<br> <br> www.SarriGilman.com<br> Facebook<br> LinkedIn<br> <br> Pick Up Sarri's Book<br> <br> Transform Your Boundaries
