This reminds we of my sister-in-law so much. Mostly the one about not listening to whiners. Her kids are flat out trained not to whine. I love all these rules. They make so much sense, even to me. Feel free to steal them. I think I’ll get a sign made with the rules on it. he he.

I can’t wait until Jacob is old enough to start understanding some of these rules. I used some of them when teaching, but 2 year olds just can’t quite comprehend like they need to for it to work. But soon! And there were a couple of other ideas I hadn’t thought of. Thanks for the info!
