List of family rules and consequences
I would like to make a list tomorrow of our rules and the subsequent consequences for breaking specific rules. That way when a rule is broken I don't have to flip through my already overworked foggy brain, I can just flip the rule chart out and say "Ds 1 you were running in the house, you need to take a break on the couch and cool off." I would really like some help with this, though.
Here are some of the common problems the kids run into...
running in the house -- we have 2 staircases and they often just run a loop and run people over in the process. Do the above consequence sound okay?
hitting, kicking, grabbing, screaming at another family member -- remove the child from the room/presence of victim to be alone, calm down (should there be an amount of time?)
disobeying a specific request by me or dh or other authority figure (ie. grandma, aunt, etc.) -- this I am at a loss for a consequence.
speaking disrespectfully --- ???
can you ladies give me some more ideas for rules I need to cover and consequences for those rules being broken? my brain is so gone right now!!!
