Academic Deep Dive: https://srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cdev.13851  Good or Bad Advice: Melissa Urban | Whole30 on Instagram: "When you’re in bed in all your clothes between book tour events, but you promised a bunch of people a video on why over-explaining your boundary can backfire. 💃🏻 Sometimes, standing in your power means letting the limit speak for itself. (And if pressed, you can stick to, “it’s not a good time,” or “we’re celebrating with just the kids this year,” or “not this year, Carol.”) Choose to share more as a means of deepening your connection, not in defense of your right to set the limit in the first place. ❤️" ( submitted by Becca)#stitch with @actressbecc can we just acknowledge that performative parenting for the benefit of the adults in the room is super problematic?
