Uphold the rules you set
A good way to encourage people to obey your boundaries, says Dr. Jackson, is to create and enforce consequences when they do not. “Ideally, have consequences for those who disregard your boundaries. Make sure they are clear, even if never spoken, and make sure you stick with the consequence every time. Keep in mind the ultimate consequence may be severing ties with the person altogether.”
