Kids want to know where the boundaries are !! With out them they have a hard time defining themselves and knowing when they are in a safe zone so their mind can relax. When they are in a bad zone they know it too and will try to do something to change it. I call it HARD love and God teaches us this in the Bible. When times are bad people are good and when times are good people are bad
