1.3. What are the guidelines about setting rules?
Guidelines about setting rules for children, is to express examples of misbehavior with a clearly defined rules or instructions. Don't be vague, be precise in what you say, and state clearly the behavior you desire. In power struggles the first step in resolving a no-win situation is to withdraw from the conflict, then apply positive reinforcement, and apply the rules consistently. And use rules that are fair and attainable, and avoid trying to change "no-win" behavior through punishment, like wetting, soiling, hair pulling, or thumb sucking. Give the highest priority to issues of safety, and equal importance in prevention of harm to others, including parents, other children, adults or animals.
