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.

Henry Cloud
Be Hard on the issue, Soft on the person.
Henry Cloud
Love can only exist where freedom and responsibility are operating.
Henry Cloud
When leaders lead in ways that people's brains can follow, good results follow as well.
Henry Cloud
For someone's character to grow, it has to be free from internal attack. Falling down never stopped children from developing. But getting yelled at, criticized, and put down can stop them for life.
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
The mature person meets the demands of life, while the immature person demands that life meet her demands.
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
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
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
We need rest not just so we feel better. We need rest for actual creation of what we're going to need the next day.
Henry Cloud
A good test of a relationship is how a person responds to the word 'no.' Love respects 'no,' control does not.
Henry Cloud
Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change.
Henry Cloud
Endings are a part of life, and we are actually wired to execute them. But because of trauma, developmental failures, and other reasons, we shy away from the steps that could open up whole new worlds of development and growth.
Henry Cloud
Leave your pride, ego, and narcissism somewhere else. Reactions from those parts of you will reinforce your children's most primitive fears.
Henry Cloud
Successful people stick to what they are good at and find ways to make that larger.
Henry Cloud
Anger is frustration at the fact that we are not God, and do not have control over reality.
Henry Cloud
A person who hasn't grieved a significant loss has unfinished business inside and can cause others great grief as a result.
Henry Cloud
Values are sometimes worth living and dying for, and are certainly worth dating and breaking up over.
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
