 At what age does a child understand boundaries?

Preschoolers from 3 to 5 years old are able to follow rules and are beginning to under-stand how their behavior affects them and others. They like to please you and you can generally explain to them what limits you have set. They may become very upset when they are unable to do something.

Actually I didn't understand boundaries.  I didn't even understand what it was as I didn't understand word of mouth following rules and instructions. People would get mad at me because I couldn't speak up. Then I would get mad at myself because I couldn't speak up.   My brain/amigdala couldn't process what people were saying. So I would just sit or stand there frozen.  As I got older and was more able to speak. Sometimes I was not able to speak.  If people would just shut up long enough and be patient and wait for me to gather words together to say them right.
