In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four  simple and practical tips of how to clearly and playfully set boundaries with children and teens.

1. Use Visual Cues to Reinforce Boundaries
2. Use Language to Name and Claim Boundaries
3. Time Limits in Play
4. Establish “Reset” Moments in Play

Boundaries in play are like the lines on a sports field—they don’t restrict the game, they define it. Without those lines, the game would lose its shape, making it confusing and frustrating for everyone. When you set clear boundaries with your children and teens, you’re giving them the structure they need to thrive, ensuring the game of life is played with purpose and joy. Strong, consistent boundaries create a space where children feel safe, cared for, and understood, helping your relationship flourish.
