Excerpts

This is at the end of the book, but it really should be at the beginning.
We have seen many single parents with boundaryless kids turn their children in the right direction with love and support of others in their lives. Remember that God, in a way, is also a single parent (Jeremiah 3:8). He was symbolically "divorced" form Israel and raised his family without her! He understands the struggle and will help you.

Much of the book assumes a two-parent household. This should be an encouragement to the rest of us.
In this motivation part of boundary building with your child don't undervalue any of the three motives for good behavior we have discussed. Your child needs to be concerned about the pain of consequences for irresponsibility, the rights and wrongs of his behavior, and what pain his actions may cause for his friends and God. Be a parent who is subject to these motivations, and create many experiences for your child to internalize and own them for himself.

Parents who do not say NO to their child's wish to be continually by their side are teaching him that he cannot exist on his own and that the world revolves around him. Later, the same child will not be comfortable allowing the one he loves to have her own sense of separateness, and he will try to control her.

If parents give without boundaries, children learn to feel entitled and become self-centered and demanding.

Someone once said, "Reality is a tough place to live, but it is the only place to get a good steak."

If you never disagree with the person you love, something is terribly wrong. Some people are afraid to be themselves with another person. Such fear negates love. The Bible says that perfect love drives out fear (1 John 4:18). You can't really love someone with whom you can't be separate. That is, love does not mean losing yourself but rather frees you and empowers you to be yourself.
