Frequently asked questions

How do you set family rules that children will follow?
Family rules tend to stick when they're few, positive and genuinely shared. Keep them to a short list everyone can remember, and frame them as values to live up to ('in this family, we are kind and tell the truth') rather than a long list of 'don'ts', which sets a warmer, clearer tone. The biggest factor in buy-in is involving the children in creating them — when they help decide the rules, they understand the reasons and feel ownership, so you can refer to 'our rules' rather than imposing yours. Display them somewhere central, revisit them calmly when needed, and — most importantly — model them yourself, since children learn far more from what the adults around them do than from any poster. Letting children help decorate it makes it feel like theirs. Keep expectations age-appropriate and consistent.
