Golden Rule: Make clear rules for your family and keep them.
Make the rules very clear and positive.
Develop a strategic plan for how to respond when the children don’t follow the rules.
Remember that they are children, and we often need to repeat our messages as they simply forget when they are young.
Patterns are repeats of a certain behavior or way of thinking. As soon as we are born we are offered information and we begin to store this information inside and develop patterns.
Always place yourself in the shoes of your child and ask yourself the question:
How would I feel as a child if someone were to give me this information?
