A boundary is like this, you know what I mean?

It's a really important idea.

It moves.

Okay.

It's not rigid.

If you hit a boundary...

And it's rigid.

You've annihilated the spirit of your child.

You know, when a child meets a boundary and they break it, you're trying to inform, the boundary comes back into place, but you explain to them what they did there and what's coming in now as a result of that and why that's happened.

Yeah, like through the education system.

You know what I mean?

And then presumably people are going, like we had an actual civil war in this country.

When I had younger kids, they'd throw a tantrum at the cash register for the Peppa Pig magazine because that was nuclear option, right?

Yes.

Generations ago.

That was the biggest moment you could throw a tantrum.

That's right.

People still remember the things that neighbours did to neighbours.

And I'd say, well, you're not getting the magazine now because you threw the tantrum when they're in the car and they're calming down.

and say that that didn't get you the magazine.
