This week we’re chatting with the amazing Gen Muir on how to set boundaries with our children! We discuss what a boundary is, what age it might be appropriate to set these, the best way to communicate boundaries and enforce them, as well as how to work through situations where our kids push against boundaries. 

Gen Muir is an Obstetric Social Worker, Parent Educator, author, LEGO DUPLO ambassador and mum to four boys. With a deep passion for early childhood development, she is dedicated to supporting families, caregivers, and educators during the crucial early years.

We've all had those carriers that just don't sit quite right, or don't feel like they're secure enough to keep bub tight and comfortable, which is why Mumma Etc's carriers have been designed with a combination of wide shoulder straps along with a cross back style to ensure even weight distribution. This makes baby wearing so much more comfortable, supporting you to be hands free but also supporting your back while keeping your baby correctly supported too. Mumma Etc.'s Daily Carrier has sold out 10 times since its release last year, sparking buzz among mums for its perfect mix of clever design, comfort and style.
