Importance of parents setting boundaries with their children

While speaking to Briefly News, psychologist and relationship expert Penny Holburn said the following:

"Your role as a parent is to prepare your child for the adult world. In the adult world, people are subject to boundaries, discipline, rules and laws. Adults cannot do whatever they want. There are consequences. So, you do want to make sure your children understand rules, discipline, and boundaries. This does not mean hitting them. As some people have said, physical violence is a sign of a lack of discipline."

The psychologist went on to say that when setting rules and boundaries for children, you need to ensure that they are age-appropriate.

"To punish a child for something that their brain cannot comprehend only leads to a fearful child. The child needs to have developed the brain capacity to understand the difference between what they can do and what they cannot do, and why this is so."

Establishing boundaries and rules is crucial for protecting children from harm, abuse, and cruelty, as they ensure understanding and compliance with established laws.

"You don’t go through a red traffic light because you might kill or injure someone. You don’t take what doesn’t belong to you because that is someone else’s property and stealing something someone else worked for is not okay," she added.

Importance of praising your partner in a relationship

"You cannot keep criticising someone or making them feel small and stupid and expect them to like being with you. You need to give praise to a partner to help them feel valued and capable. But you don’t want to overdo it."

Penny added:

"The praise must be genuine and something the other person is proud of. Too much praise is going to seem fake and ungenuine, and when you do truly want to praise your partner, it will mean less if you do it all the time."

SA reacts to the TikTok video

Online users flooded the comments section to praise the man while some expressed their thoughts.

"What's more exciting is the wife didn't say a word but let the husband speak till he finished. Girl, sister, wife and my friend, I respect you for respecting him, much love to both of you."
