[QUOTE="DDD, post: 460797, member: 35"] I think you're right for kids and parents. Having a predetermined schedule for bath time, laying out clothes, eating dinner together at the table, getting to the bus stop, turning off TV's etc. and especially getting in bed were hugely important in getting control of my household when I was a young Mom. For me I had to get in the habit of not raising my voice, speaking softly/slowly and with authority etc. We are all creatures of habit and when youngsters "know" what is going to happen at a certain time and under certain circumstances it definitely breeds acceptance...and sometimes peace. Heck, I even posted the week's menu on the refrigerator so everyone knew what to expect for dinner. Remembering to throw out an appropriate "thank you" when something was done unexpectedly or under duress also included the habits that helped our home. Yep, I agree with your theory. DDD [/QUOTE]
