Kids need and love structure. If your family has a clear set of defined rules, your children will have a better chance at meeting those expectations. Don’t make a million rules, kids can only retain 3-4. Make them general yet understandable.
A great #1 rule is LISTEN. If your little one has a hard time listening, make them repeat back what you said.
Make requests in short phrases, “Sit down now.”
If your child throws a fit when it’s time to leave, be proactive. Tell them before you go that they will leave when you say so.
What rules and boundaries do you have in place to help keep you patient?
