Family Rules

Every family has rules. Some families have tons of rules to follow and some families barely have one rule that is enforced. There are a lot of rules that different families share. Like "Be Home By Curfew" or "No Fighting" or "Work First Then Play". But there are some rules that are unique to your family. For example there is "Do NOT Lie to Mom" and my personal favorite "Answer Your Phone Before You Don't Have One". Rules should be flexible because a blanket set of rules is not always helpful to the children in the family. No child is the same and each one may need different rules. Children are all different and some rules may not apply to them and parents need to adapt to each child.

  1. Being a good parent is knowing and understanding each of you children. They are all different and have different needs and different limits. But the most important thing to remember no matter what rules that are set out is to love your children unconditionally and discipline rule breakers with love.
