New Rules For The Kids have Been a Success

Thanks for the link! There are a lot of great ideas that I hope to implement.

When we move down into the basement (hopefully soon) I plan on using my cricut machine to make vinyl letters for the wall reading "Make Good Choices" I was then going to put a list of rules underneath and I think I will be using these.

Really, it's just trying to avoid the NO or DON'T phrases.

Another word to avoid using is "but" as it invalidates anything said before it. Most of the time when we use the word 'but' we could use 'and' and it makes both parts of the sentence valid. I find that this change is not easy and takes lots of practice. It makes a big difference though.

I Have loved putting up a Rules poster - anytime one is broken like another member said once we go over and read that rule and have to stand by the Rule poster for a minute and talk about them..it has realllly helped having them posted - even though they cant read they know what the poster is and so its a reminder to them !!

I used clipart for each one and made a little poster. I tried to attach it but for some reason it says invalid file.

I did the same, with looking eyes, helping hands, listening ears, walking feet and respectful voices, + You may not hurt others, you may not hurt yourself, you may not hurt things
