How To Set Rules For Your Children
| Miscellaneous As a parent you set the rules. Make them very precise and clear. Now if a child acts up, and doesn't want to abide by your rules, you need to do something different. For instance if he's doing something to annoy some one. Just say "Stop" that's enough. If he continues say "Do you see that chair over there" then point to it. Well if you continue, you're going there in five minutes. If no improvement take him by the hand , and put him in it. Set a timer for 15 minutes. If by that time no changes, set it again for 15.
