Rules
Every organisation needs rules to function smoothly. A family is an organisation of related individuals so it also needs rules.
Without rules, no one would know what to do or what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.
Sometimes, parents think that their children know all the rules without being told and they get upset when their children break a rule. But if they're not told then children are left to guess and this is not conducive to a smoothly functioning family.
Start off with one rule that you can introduce to your family. Ask yourself what the one thing is that your family needs right now. Is it showing each other respect or listen when someone talks?
Whatever it is that you think your family needs, introduce it by gathering your family and explaining this rule. Write it down and put it up where everyone can see it. This is the challenge action for today.
When you have done this then come and join me on my private Facebook group 'Better Parenting Challenge' where we can have a group discussion on today's action or anything about parenting.
