DID YOU KNOW ? The Importance of Emotional Boundaries We discuss the importance of physical boundaries quite a bit, teaching children to understand privacy and the difference between good touches and bad touches. But emotional boundaries are just as important, if not more so, because abuse victims are often manipulated into trusting and believing their abusers. Predators can violate emotional boundaries fairly easily, worming their way into a child’s life and creating a false relationship. Parents should talk to their children about appropriate boundaries for their emotional relationships — with teachers, the parents of their friends, and other adults in their lives. Children do not always have the emotional maturity to set their own boundaries, so parents should be on the lookout for anything that seems inappropriate or “off” about the relationships their children form with other adults. To learn more about emotional boundaries and how to maintain them, email jvienna@la-archdiocese.org.

¿Sabía Que? La importancia de los límites emocionales Discutimos la importancia de los límites físicos un poco, enseñando a los niños a comprender la privacidad y la diferencia entre las buenas formas de ser tocados y las malas maneras de ser tocados. Pero los límites emocionales son igual de importantes, si no más, porque las víctimas de abuso a menudo son manipuladas para confiar y creer en sus abusadores. Los depredadores pueden violar los límites emocionales con bastante facilidad, abriéndose camino en la vida de un niño y creando una relación falsa. Los padres de familia deben hablar con sus hijos sobre los límites apropiados con sus relaciones emocionales, con los maestros, los padres de sus amigos y otros adultos en sus vidas. Los niños no siempre tienen la madurez emocional para establecer sus propios límites, por lo que los padres de familia deben estar atentos a cualquier cosa que parezca inapropiada o “desagradable” sobre las relaciones que sus hijos forman con otros adultos. Para aprender más sobre los límites emocionales y cómo mantenerlos, envíe un correo electrónico a jvienna@la-archdiocese.org.
