ESTABLISH CLEARLY DEFINED RULES FOR A CHILD!

A PARENTAL RULE is an EXPECTATION that is reasonable and clearly defined yet flexible when appropriate. Setting household rules conveys love for a child and guides a child toward becoming a responsible, successful adult. Remember BODY LANGUAGE, FACIAL EXPRESSION, and TONE OF VOICE are essential when sharing a rule or expectation.

God gave the 10 COMMANDMENTS as GUIDING PRINCIPLES for life! Rules are everywhere, in society, the workplace, school, and yes, even in a LOVING HOME. Parental RULES provide HEALTHY LIMITS, but at the same time GUARANTEE FREEDOM because acceptable behavior is defined.

MONTHLY DATE YOUR CHILD!!!

Numerous parents have told me that a MONTHLY DATE has been unbelievable in ENHANCING their PARENT-CHILD relationship! A MONTHLY DATE YOUR CHILD doesn’t have to be expensive--an ice cream cone, shake, walk around the park. NEVER DISCUSS PROBLEMS and your child will absolutely look forward to your MONTHLY ONE-ON-ONE DATES!
