Consistency and Clarity

 Consistency and Clarity

Don’t allow all the pressures of the day be an excuse for bad behavior.

If you excuse a child from a rule , then will constantly be testing boundaries to see what they can get away with this time. 

So Stay consistent 

You have put the rules in place for a reason.

Along with consistency comes clarity.

Children should know what the expectations are and what the consequences will be if those expectations are not met.

When a rule is broken, there should be a conversation about what was done wrong.

That allows the child to take responsibility for breaking the rule.
