The Importance of Rules

Children need to learn how to act and behave.

It’s hard for children to remember a lot of rules. Our Importance of Rules Tear Pad is full of helpful illustrations and tips to set household rules.

Tips include:

• make only the rules you need
• make one rule at a time
• make rules sound fair
• say the rule in a positive way
• praise children when they remember the rules
• use consequences if rules are broken
• enforce the rules and be consistent

The rules tear pad also lists 4 reasons for rules

1. To keep children safe
2. To protect other people
3. To help make better choices
4. To make parenting easier
