Giving Your Child Privacy and Space - 24...

About this episode

Giving Your Child Privacy and Space--While Teaching Respect and Responsiblity

What should you do when your child expresses a need for space or asks for privacy? If you are like most parents, you aren't sure how to navigate this delicate situation. As our children grow, their desire for such time is expected. But we often wonder how much space is enough. We ask why they need space and privacy. What are your plans?

Our children need us to be understanding, as uncomfortable as it might feel. We get nervous. We want to protect them, guide them well, and give them what they need. But if you are intentional, you can use this time to teach them balance, trust, and accountability. 

Today's show I cover

  • How much space and privacy?
  • What are the warning signs your child needs more supervision?
  • How do we create boundaries without losing connection?
  • Why privacy isn't just about personal space--but about building trust.

You can be involved without being invasive--supervise without controlling or hovering.
