Rules
Rules help families function smoothly. Rules let your kids know what is expected of them and help them to understand limits and develop self-discipline. Rules about safety, bedtime and respect are important. Make sure your rules fairly address the important issues. Don’t have too many rules.
Every family has a different set of rules that work for them. Taking time to think about your family rules, involving kids in the creation of rules, and having fair consequences when rules are broken can head off conflicts.
