To execute these rules, kids need
to know right from wrong and
bad choices from good choices.
For example; it’s ok to play with
their toys as long as they understand they have to clean up and
put the toys away. Even in Day
Care, Pre–School, and Kindergarten, this rule is taught and
carried out. And if they can do
such in school, they can do the
same at home.
First, they need to understand
that you are not their friend.
There is a BIG difference in the
relationship they have with their
friends than what they have with
their parents. And too many parents are comfortable being their
children’s friends. Consider the
relationship they have with their
peers. There is a level of influence that is usually contrary to
the manner in which you raise
your children. Add to this, not
all their friends follow positive
behavior. They are most likely,
loyal to a fault. In a word, even
when their friends are wrong,
they yet stand by them rather
than pointing out that their action
is wrong and possibly harmful.
They would rather be accepted
“To
even if it means going along with
what is not adhering to Godly
principles. Seriously, do you
want your child to be your friend?
2). Respect School Rules
Rules are put in order to ensure
they have a productive learning day at school and to keep
them safe. As a former Substitute Teacher, my classroom
rules were simplistic and easy to
follow through. Whether inside
the classroom, in the cafeteria,
execute these rules,
kids need to know right from
wrong and bad choices from
good choices.”
