My Daughter talked bout wanting to help someone but also feeling a lil uncomfortable at times. Because it felt she was putting herself in discomfort.

And it looked the perfect opportunity to talk about being kind but with boundaries.

Empathy without boundaries is self destruction. Ask us Highly Sensitive People who are also empaths, We know.

It took me years to learn this, so obviously I’ll be teaching this to My Daughter early on.

We cannot go hungry trying to feed someone else- to her I was giving an example of food but to you, an adult, I am not talking bout food here.

What do you think? Do you lack boundaries and go into people pleasing at the cost of your own self?

Teaching children that kindness does not require abandoning their own needs is such an important distinction.
