Summary

Toddlers and preschoolers are driven to learn everything about their world, and they are particularly intrigued by the people in it: peers, family members, kids, grown-ups, and most of all their parents. A key aspect of their socialization is learning about personal boundaries, understanding how to assert theirs and respect those of others. They need our help with that. In her response to a parent's question about her 2.5 year old hitting children who invade his space, Janet explains how we teach these invaluable lessons and why they matter.

Janet's "No Bad Kids Master Course" is available at NoBadKidsCourse.com.

Her best-selling books “No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline without Shame” and "Elevating Child Care: A Guide to Respectful Parenting" are available in all formats at Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and free at Audible (https://adbl.co/2OBVztZ) with a trial subscription.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Janet Landsbury. Welcome to UnRuffled. Today I'm responding to a Facebook message
0:09.6	I received. It's a question about personal space. You know, certain children really need
0:15.9	personal space and it makes them uncomfortable when another child enters that space. So
0:21.9	how can we help them learn to manage this and to consider and respect personal space
0:28.3	of others? Hopefully, I'll be answering those questions and more. I'm also going to talk
0:33.2	about hitting and other behaviors and when adults are sort of invading a child's personal
0:39.0	space, causing them to be uncomfortable. I'll be covering all of that too. All our kids
0:47.9	are different, but when it comes to their education, one thing we all have in common is
0:51.8	that we want to set them up for success. And that means empowering them to learn in whatever
0:58.0	way is best for them. And we actually do have choices. K-12-powered schools are tuition-free,
1:05.3	accredited online public schools for kindergarten through 12th grade. They've been doing this
1:10.5	for over 20 years and over 2 million families have already been served. With K-12, your
1:16.4	kids learn at their own pace in their own space and with a curriculum that supports individual,
1:22.4	diverse learning styles and family situations. They even offer social opportunities, extracurricular
1:28.6	activities, and in-person events. And this is different from traditional homeschooling where
1:33.8	you may be responsible for teaching. K-12-powered schools teachers are state certified. They're
1:40.2	trained online educators who actually support and interact with your child. Learn more at
1:46.1	k12.com-slash-unruffled today and find a tuition-free K-12-powered school near you. That's the
1:53.7	letter K, the number 12.com-slash-unruffled. K-12-dot-com-slash-unruffled.
2:04.7	Okay, here's the question I received. Hi Janet. I really love your content. Thank you for
2:09.6	your insight. I have a situation I was really unsure how to parent. If a two and a half
2:15.4	year old likes their personal space and a child was coming into their personal space on top of them,
