Children and adults need boundaries for a variety of reasons. For educators, knowing when and how to appropriately set boundaries with children can be challenging. Boundaries keep children safe, but we also want to honour their opinions, choices, autonomy and decision-making. This workshop will give practical applications on how and when to use boundaries. It will explore educators' own needs and challenges around boundaries and how to support children in
establishing their own voices and boundaries.
