[QUOTE="keista, post: 459741, member: 11965"] Well, if it's a problem for the parents, then it's causing a problem for "someone around them" Any problems in interpretation must be met with discussion. Through that discussion is when kids really begin to learn how every single action affects others. Part of the brilliance is that clever kids will spend time trying to think of what kind of "mischief" they can get into without breaking the rule. This takes a lot of thought, and discussion. When this first came up, my youngest was 6. Not sure if this would work for younger kids, and also my kids are not full fledged difficult children. DD1 is a easy child/difficult child the other two are mostly easy child with a few difficult child issues. BUT whenever a conflict came up, we applied this one rule. On rare occasion, it made ME stop and realize that what I was asking/expecting was essentially unimportant. It helped ME pick my battles. Also, if it's something that simply annoying me, then it is causing a problem. [/QUOTE]
