They clearly identify what we are responsible for and not responsible for. Boundaries in our personal lives can take the form of saying yes or no to others\, and then also can take the form of saying yes or no to ourselves. Perhaps as caregivers we are so quick to saying yes to caring to others\, that we neglect saying yes to caring for ourselves. A life with good boundaries often has the impact of increasing our sense of wellbeing and freedom! For the engagement session\, we’ll practice what it feels like (and sounds like) to set boundaries and protect your emotional needs. \n\nMore about the Lemonade Stand – Summer Education Series\nLooking forward to a Sweet Summer?
