Kidpower Shorts – Episode 8: Managing Negative Reactions to Boundaries

The second episode about boundaries discusses some examples of negative reactions to boundaries, and ways in which people can ignore or disregard them. Negative reactions to boundaries are common and normal, and they can still be hard to manage or resist. This episode provides examples and practices of how to apply Kidpower skills in communication and emotional safety to persist in setting boundaries, even when someone is upset, angry, or indifferent.
