If your boundary training consists only of words, you are wasting your breath. But if you 'do' boundaries with your kids, they internalize the experiences, remember them, digest them, and make them part of how they see reality.

More quotes by Henry Cloud
Boundaries are basically about providing structure, and structure is essential in building anything that thrives.
Henry Cloud
Good pain is pain in the service of a purpose. Bad pain is pain endured because we are resisting a needed growth step.
Henry Cloud
That is why success and fruitfulness depend as much upon focusing on the who you are as much as the what of the work you do. Invest in your character, and it will give you the returns that you are looking for by only investing in the work itself. You can't do the latter without the former.
Henry Cloud
Oftentimes, churches are started by an entrepreneurial church plant visionary whom everybody follows, but he's not following anybody. Even though he's accountable to a board, he's really not. Authority's a good thing, and if it's not forced upon you as a leader, then I suggest, strongly, that you go buy some.
Henry Cloud
People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari - like they're trying to land the trophy.
Henry Cloud
If you want to become healthy, you have to surround yourself with a group of people that are getting healthy and you have to be connected to a community that is doing what you want to do.
Henry Cloud
It is true that you get what you tolerate.
Henry Cloud
Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change.
Henry Cloud
There's no better way to become a disintegrated character than to be your own authority.
Henry Cloud
Leadership is not taken, it is given. People give leadership to those that they trust. They allow people that they trust to have influence over their lives.
Henry Cloud
There is a big difference between hurt and harm. We all hurt sometimes in facing hard truths, but it makes us grow. It can be the source of huge growth. That is not harmful. Harm is when you damage someone. Facing reality is usually not a damaging experience, even though it can hurt.
Henry Cloud
The business of church is ultimately people. You're trying to heal people, grow people, teach people, and mend people. And when leaders spend all of their time helping and growing other people, they ignore their own growth.
Henry Cloud
Dating is a place to practice how to relate to other people.
Henry Cloud
Love can only exist where freedom and responsibility are operating.
Henry Cloud
The mature person meets the demands of life, while the immature person demands that life meet her demands.
Henry Cloud
It’s scary to realize that the only thing holding our friends to us isn’t our performance, or our lovability, or their guilt, or their obligation. The only thing that will keep them calling, spending time with us, and putting up with us is love. And that’s the one thing we can’t control.
Henry Cloud
He is the Truth, and He wants us to deal in truth with ourselves and our loved ones. We want the truth about you and your family to flood into and overrun the secrets that keep you in bondage to dysfunctional behavior and relationships
Henry Cloud
The fool tries to adjust the truth so he does not have to adjust to it.
Henry Cloud
Because dating is a human exercise, it can be a tightrope fraught with danger. You will be dating imperfect people, and some of them are more imperfect than others. In addition, you are not perfect either, so that complicates the picture.
Henry Cloud
When you encourage someone, it literally changes their brain chemistry to be able to perform... sends fuel to the brain.
