Great post. This is is at the heart of the inner work I am doing right now.

Carrie I am stuck on number 4 here, as I feel this is the area I most struggle with, in terms of setting boundaries/limits for my spirited 3 year old. I feel like I always end up ‘commanding, ordering, or coercing’, after failing to get my son’s attention in a kind and gentle way. I would appreciate any concrete examples of setting limits for a child at this developmental stage, or any resources/reading that may be helpful.

Also, after reading many of the (very helpful!) back posts re: fostering creative play, I read in one of them that you may be writing a future post about facilitating play – would you provide the link to it, if applicable.

Many thanks for your words and your time!

Thank you for this powerful reminder, Carrie. To think that we can cause so much damage out of our own ‘temper tantrums’!

Blessings,
