making house rules for kids - could you share some of yours?

Hi Kimberylynn! We have house rules here, my son is only 2 but the house rules apply to the entire house and anyone who may enter. We have rules of : Being polite Clean up after yourself No yelling, discuss No Hiting No sassing When someone speaks, take time to listen When someone hurts, take time to listen Eat dinner at the table with each other NEVER dismiss anyone who has a thought Read 1 book each day, alone or with Mommy & Daddy No shoes on the couch Most of all Love each other and Know you are loved Be nice to the animals , Buddy & Casper (our dogs) These are very simple rules, but for us they work! I actually have them posted in our hallway so everyone can view upon entering our home. Hope this helps!

I have one four year old who is soon to be five. I realize that I don't have as many as yourself, but still rules are rules. I don't like having every toy from my son's room in the living room, especially if we have kids for company. No screaming is allowed and no stomping. Playing or jumping on furniture is a big no-no. Not to mention the stunts that go along with jumping from the sofas. I can't think of much more right now but I am sure you will receive some more tidbits.
