Simple Families

Rules [Quick wins]


Listen Later

In our house, we have three primary rules that guide the way we parent our kids. Today, I’m sharing the three rules and how we talk to our young children about them. 

Here they are:

  1. Respect the rights of other people,  
  2. Protect and care for the environment (both inside the house and out), 
  3. Take only reasonable risks. 
  4. It can be really easy to fall into the trap of creating a lot of little rules, often based on annoying behaviors. Don’t throw sand. Don’t touch the exercise bike. 

    You are allowed to change your rules. If you have too many, you might need to reevaluate and decide which ones to keep after this episode. Because the truth is, they may cost you more time and energy than they are worth. Thanks again for tuning in to today’s episode!
