Many parents have a problem, which is that their children lack awareness of rules, but they do not know why their children do not follow the rules. It is because parents have not understood their children. Now let's understand why children don't follow rules, and learn to set rules for them accordingly to make them clear. Let's take a look together.
(1) Reasons why children do not follow rules
The child is not familiar with or understands the rules at home. There are too many rules. Parents sometimes set too many rules for their children. After all, children are still children and their understanding ability is relatively poor. Often, children are not aware of these rules. Some children deliberately conceal their violations, hoping that parents will not discover their mistakes. For such children, parents should explain to them well and make them understand the importance of rules.
(2) Establish rules
Parents should first write down all the rules they believe should be implemented, which may take several days to complete. Choose the most important one, regardless of whether the child frequently violates it, and write it on the 'Family Rules Contract'. Parents need to check if their children understand the rules. After children become accustomed to following rules, they should make appropriate changes to some of them. Anyway, children cannot abide by so many rules. Let them know that parents have relaxed their control a bit, and parents can exchange for more important rules appropriately. If there are several children in the family, the same rules should also be used to constrain them. Knowing the friends that parents make with their children is a positive and useful thing, and children will feel honored. Parents use clever methods to deal with their children's social issues, and children will also understand that parents value the friends they make.
(3) Clearly sign the contract clause by clause
Find a moment when both the child and parents are at peace and sit down to discuss family rules. Prepare copies of the rules in advance and distribute them to children and every member of the family. Clearly explain the meaning of each rule. The most effective way is to abide by it together with the child.
