TIPS FOR DEVELOPING SIMPLE PARENTING RULES

by Geoff Powell

Here are some tips for developing very simple rules for your children.

Rule 1 - Establish strict regular sleep times. Emphasize the importance of sleep. If the child is not getting enough sleep or is having disrupted sleep. The rule should be that your child gets enough undisrupted sleep regularly.

Rule 2 - Encourage good behaviors. Offer privileges to encourage the enforcement of this rule.

Rule 3 - Make homework a priority. Adhere strictly to doing homework first before play.

Rule 4 - Prevent back talk. If your kid gets big-mouthed with you, then be strict and remove privileges.

Be consistent and set clear boundaries.
