[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 466192"] I have alarms on all of the kids doors. This way if I don't hear difficult child 1's door (he is downstairs and everyone else is upstairs) I'll hear the other doors opening. I tell difficult child 1 the truth. I don't lecture him about it, but at 11 years old with the cognitive abilities of an 11 year old he can take it not watered down. With my other kids I tell them 'so I'll know when the door opens'. It is the truth at their level. I'm sure as they grow up and realize that not everyone grows up with alarms on their doors there will be more questions. And then I'll again tell them the truth as much as they can understand. [/QUOTE]
