I keep seeing an advertisement for a cute new show on Nick Jr. called "Olivia". Olivia is an adventurous little pig that wants to be a doctor, a scientist, an astronaut and much more. While on the way out the door one day she hollers back "mom, I am going on a trip around the world", moms reply "ok honey, just remember, don't cross the street".
I love this simple exchange of words because mom is not limiting the horizons of Olivia but setting healthy boundaries where which she can succeed safely. What kinds of boundaries are you needing to set and need help with? Are your children flourishing within a safe and flexible environment, a place they can become who God created them to be? All of our lives we will be learning about boundary setting and limits being pushed, God help us to do things right.
