Some may also have difficulties in forming healthy bonds with others.
One could argue that the mom was having a bad day when this all happened.
However, her actions werent a good example for her child to have seen.

According to licensed psychotherapistMargarita Rabinovich, doing so can also help avoid frustration and disappointment.
Regarding setting boundaries, Rabinovich says they protect ones well-being and prevent immature behavior from being enabled.
However, firm communication of limits and consistency in upholding them is necessary.
