Week 30-A Happy House

While preparing for LG's start of kindergarten... we have begun to revamp our "House Rules" and I feel that it's been a nice change or everyone... we have seen less yelling, less crying (from mommy especially) and more togetherness... it's a proven fact that kids like structure. We just have to provide them with enough to learn their mistakes from and grown from...

Here are OUR "Rules for a Happy House":

1) R-E-S-P-E-C-T! No Disrespect to Mommy, Daddy or Brother

2) Yakkty-Yak...Don't Talk Back!

3) Be polite! Use “Please,” “Thank You,” “Yes Mam/Sir,” and “No Mam/Sir”

4) Don't be an Octopus! Keep Your Hands and Feet to Yourself

5) No Door Slamming…ever!

6) Thumper said it best...No Name Calling or Disrespectful Faces

7) When told to do something, do it with a SMILE J (no grunting/noises/faces)

8) Dinner is over when Mommy and Daddy are done. It's not an all night diner!

9) Be Polite...If a Door is Closed… Knock First! And then wait...

10) Sharing is caring...ALL toys in the Living Room or Play Room are shared. If you want to play with a toy alone, you must play with it in your bedroom.
