In previous episodes, we’ve shared how to set limits, how to identify which limits to set, and how to enforce limits. But something we've noticed is that as parents, we get tired very quickly if we're constantly repeating ourselves, or what kids would call nagging.

So in this episode we’re going to share a simple approach for getting more consistent behavior without feeling like we’re always having to nag.

Learning to set limits in a way that your young child or adolescent will obey is typically what every parent, caregiver, or educator wants to learn. In this episode, we will be continuing our 3-part series on how to set limits so your child will listen (and you don’t lose your mind). We will briefly recap how to set a limit and what to do when your child chooses not to obey the limit.

Learning to set limits so that your kids obey is the topic that every parent wants to learn more about. And fortunately, there’s an approach that therapists use when counseling children that works really well for parents. So we are doing a three-part series where we explain the strategies, the skills, and the words to help you set limits so that you can provide your children with structure, consistency, and the protection they need. In this episode, we’re going to discuss how you can become more firm on which limits you set, how to set them, and which limits might be even worth letting go of.
