  • Rules for Household Rules (7-01-2009)

     

    SCRIPT:

    What are the most important rules in your home? Are these rules supported by the values you hold dear?
    As teens grow in their reasoning, they need to know the meaning behind the household rules. If the reasons are appropriate, so are the rules, and your teen will be more likely to follow them. Rules wihtout meaning are most likely to be broken.

    So, make sure the rules for teenagers in your home are a reflection of your deeply held values and beliefs — like respect, honesty, obedience, caring for others and following God’s mandates. If you can’t think of a good reason for a rule to exist, then your teen won’t think it is necessary to follow it either.
