Habits Quote by Fred Dr Kaeser
““For example, perhaps you’ve caught your seven-year-old masturbating on the couch in the living room: “Hey, sweetheart, I know it feels good to masturbate but as I’ve told you before it’s a private behavior and I really don’t want to have to see you do it. You can go up to your bedroom for that.” You acknowledge the behavior, you share your values (in this case, you support the behavior), and you put it in context with boundaries (it’s a private behavior for the bedroom).””
