From the author of the bestselling children's book The Sky is Red, My Boundary Balloons is an engaging story that helps children understand emotional boundaries, one of the most important yet often overlooked social-emotional skills.
Through a relatable conversation between two children, My Boundary Balloons introduces young readers to three essential types of boundaries:
Feeling Boundaries: protecting our emotions without getting lost in someone else's
Thinking Boundaries: respecting that we all have different thoughts and opinions
Personal Limits: defining what we allow and accept in our lives
Learning to set emotional boundaries helps children:
- Build self-confidence
- Trust themselves
- Form healthy, safe relationships
- Recognize when behavior feels unkind or disrespectful
- Speak up when something doesn't feel right
- Develop emotional independence and resilience
- Foster healthy social emotional growth and self-awareness
Helping young children understand how to recognize and honor their own boundaries gives them essential tools that will protect them throughout their lives.
My Boundary Balloons is an invaluable resource for parents, teachers, and counselors who want to help children ages 5-7 build self-awareness, empathy, and emotional intelligence while encouraging healthy communication and respectful relationships.
