We all need boundaries.

The balance of Setting Limits with warmth, compassion and connection - while also being clear on the Limit itself, is so important that "Setting Limits" is one of the Five Hand In Hand Connection Tools. This is something many caregivers need support with.

Comment "Limits ebook" and we will send you a free copy of our Setting Limits guide.

When Your Child Says “Leave Me Alone”

Hearing your child say “leave me alone” can feel painful, but it’s often a sign they’re overwhelmed and need space to process their emotions. Instead of taking it personally, pause and consider what they’re really communicating: “I’m not ready to talk” or “I need to feel safe in my feelings right now.”

You can respond by gently saying, “Okay, I’ll give you some space. I’m here when you’re ready.” This shows respect for their boundaries while reinforcing that your support is constant. Stay close by so they know connection is available when they’re ready to reach for it.

Helping children identify their feelings and needs in moments like these teaches emotional awareness and builds trust in your relationship.
