🌿 Limit Setting Guide: Using the ACT Method

Children feel safest when their world has clear, consistent boundaries. But setting limits doesn’t have to mean conflict—it can actually deepen connection when done with empathy.

✔️ Step-by-step breakdown of the ACT method
✔️ Why limits build safety, self-control, and responsibility
✔️ Rules of thumb for staying steady (like say it calmly, like “the sky is blue”)
✔️ Real-life sample scripts for common scenarios
✔️ Space to practice writing your own

💡 Ways this helps connection: You’ll feel more confident setting firm boundaries while still preserving trust and care in your relationship.
