The four Cs of setting healthy boundaries with your children are communication, clarification, cooperation and consistency.
Some parents may create their own variations, but these four tenets can build a strong foundation for limits.
1. Communication
2. Clarification
3. Cooperation
4. Consistency
Healthy boundaries don’t last just one day.
Understanding and respect should always be present.
Be consistent with setting limitations.
Backtracking on what you said can foster confusion and create a setback.
When you say something, stand by it.
Communicate whether you need to make a few adjustments or not.

You must be comfortable in your boundary.
If there is even an ounce of an uncomfortable feeling within yourself about this boundary that you are setting, you will find that you won't hold this boundary with others.
You MUST be clear in setting your boundaries.
Without clarity, the people you are setting the boundary for will get confused.
You cannot just assume that because you thought of your clear boundary and are comfortable with it that now everyone who it applies to knows it.
Being wishy-washy in your boundaries will cause confusion.
Boundaries must be consistent.
And last but not least, compassion.
Having compassion in your boundaries allows for you to accomplish all the other 4 "C's" and feel good about it.

Be Clear, Confident, Comfortable, and Connected
These four C's are pivotal in establishing healthy boundaries.
Communicate your expectations clearly and confidently, in simple terms that a child can understand, without the need for shouting or severity.
Approach boundary-setting with genuine affection and a desire to connect, showing your child that the limits you set come from a place of love.

The four C's for raising polite kids are Clarity, Calmness, Consequences, and Consistency.
Setting clear boundaries four our children in advance will help them know where the line is.
Remaining calm when our kids cross a defined line for the first time is important.
What is a consequence, an appropriate result of something that occurred, and the key word is appropriate.
I can’t tell you how important it is for both parents to be consistent and have their parenting styles aligned.
