    As parents we are in the business of setting boundaries daily—no desert before dinner no matter how much your child pleads even if it’s a holiday … or maybe your child can sneak in a sugary treat as long as they don’t make it a habit. Practical experience tells us that our boundaries can be a bit arbitrary and we draw lines simply because we said so. We wanted to have a little fun with this idea and in this episode will play “Because I Said So,” a game we have made up where we walk though familiar parenting scenarios and share where we would set the boundary. Join in on the game!
