I had a no food or beverage (other than water) in the bedroom rule. Kids need to come to the kitchen to eat. It started as a cleanliness rule but during the separating tween and teen years the rule limited isolating themselves.

1. Is a big deal in our home. If I’m not willing to accept no, then there’s no asking. 2. Yes! They do what we do, not what we say.

This is exactly why asking babies and toddlers for consent to change their nappies is very unhelpful for children.

Don’t ask your kids why they hit someone, they think you are saying if their answer is good enough then it’s ok!

One thing someone told me about toddler-hood is they only adsorb about the last 2 words you say to them. So if you say “hey, Johnny, no hitting please” most of the time all they hear is “hitting please” 😅 it’s better to just say no and disengage

I love to give fair warning. It’s helped through all ages. Because nobody wants to be told it’s time to do something RIGHT NOW people would rather as a whole like. Hey. We are leaving in 5 min. Less tantrums. 🤷♀️

#3 is a work in progress for me with even my last child turning 18 but 3 great rules to live by

I did all 3 of these with my kids. Also don't ask a child "who did this?" when you know they did it. Don't give them an opportunity to lie. Its not fair to them

My mom was like this. Her favorite saying was "That was not a question. It was a statement. I didn't ask if you wanted to." 😂 I catch myself saying it to my children as well. We also don't ask questions when we want something from our kids.
