Setting Boundaries with Emma Waddington
Many of our guests have helped us to understand what anxiety is, how to take a compassionate perspective on challenging behavior in the presence of anxiety, and offered tools for emotional regulation (of ourselves as well as our children or clients). In this episode, we are going to add to our toolboxes - and talk about setting boundaries with children who are struggling to regulate.
Dr. Emma Waddington is a clinical psychologist working with families and children in Singapore. She takes us on an exploration of the many ways we can set boundaries for ourselves, our children, and our families - and still enrich our relationships with our children. She offers brave insight into her own journey as a parent as well as the experienced clinician’s lens on some of the reasons that boundaries are healthy for everyone.
