27. Boundaries
This week, Axel and I explain why kids test limits and push boundaries. We explore whether children actually need and/or desire boundaries and examine the effect of establishing firm limits on the parent-child relationship.

26. Words of Wisdom
Our development is shaped by people passing in and out of our lives. Sometimes the only thing we consciously remember about them are words of advice they either intentionally, or unintentionally, impart to us. If we accept that this is the case, shouldn’t we, as parents, deliberately cultivate a list of aphorisms to share with our children that will help them navigate life? This week, Axel and I tout the benefits of deliberately transmitting words of wisdom (aka aphorisms) to children, and we share some of the most impactful words of wisdom we’ve received from our families and mentors.
