It is important to be realistic
when setting boundaries and you must take into account the child’s
age and level of understanding. There is little point in having
a rule which states all children must ask before going to the toilet
if the children in your particular setting are in nappies. Avoid
complicated rules and making a fuss over trivial things. Most children
and adults will accept the need for boundaries and in order to make
them effective we need to look at the following factors:-
- Are the boundaries realistic?
- How are the children made aware of the boundaries?
- How are the adults made aware of the boundaries?
- Do the adults agree with the boundaries?
