setting limits - being consistent-having consequences

if you set up limits for your child or rules we as parents need to follow through with them and be consistent-
we need to give our kids rules they need to know they are held accountable and consequences will occur if they do not follow the rules
I found when we were going through behavioral issues we needed to change up the consequence and even adjust the rules to make sure the consistency was there-
I think it is so important you have those discussions with your children about the rules and consequences and you follow through

for younger kids make picture boards - if you throw a toy then you have to put the toy away and lose it
older kids if you lie you lose electronics

this way they know if you do this then this will happen- this worked so well for me- had to change up the then part as we got older and things of importance changed but he knew I was not playing.

limits- consistency- consequences
