As parents and caregivers, something always on our mind is keeping our children safe. We often think of the obvious things such as making sure they are properly buckled in a car or wearing a helmet when riding a bike, but another way we can help make sure children are safe is something we might not always thing about – teaching boundaries. It is important that children also understand behaviors from others that are appropriate and inappropriate.
Helping children understand the difference between a secret and a surprise can be an important part of helping create a safe environment.
