[QUOTE="Praecepta, post: 694966, member: 20025"] One thing which is helpful for rules/consequences is for them to apply to everyone in the house. Call them "Family Rules". So instead of saying something like "Kids will not hit each other, kick parents, spit at people, etc."... Instead word it like: Everyone will use their hands and feet safely. (That covers everyone and everything!) Furthermore you don't need to re-invent the wheel. There are plenty of family rules lists on the internet which you can copy and modify to your needs or use asis. Search google.com for the words... family rules Also if you want more strict rules, search for the words... juvenile detention facility rules You can get more help by asking your local school counselor about parenting classes in your area. For that the other people in the class have gone through the same things you are going through, and... Misery enjoys company! Also they have MANY excellent ideas for helping you deal with kids. The first parenting class I went to, everyone else was smiling and happy. I was ready to pull my hair out! Anyway they had me smiling too within just a few weeks! [/QUOTE]
