CARING: Use encouragement and support, not just discipline for broken rules.
Praise your children when they follow your family rules, especially when they do what’s expected of them without reminders from you.
When a rule is broken, criticize the action and not your children.
Follow up swiftly when a rule is broken; stay calm and carry out the consequences your children expect.
Make sure the consequences are appropriate for the broken rule.
Respect your children’s rights, such as the right to privacy.
