By explicitly stating our intention to protect and teach skills, rather than to annoy, control, or distrust, we can explain rules and boundaries from this position of protection and respect. This approach is much more constructive and connects more effectively with their needs for support and trust, making them much easier to understand.

Set limits and rules for them, respectfully and flexibly (Mother of a teenager).
I understand that it's logical to have established limits, however, perhaps being able to talk about it together is positive, as it allows us to reach an agreement and decide them together (Teenage daughter).
