I can't remember where I read it, but it's "Obey right away, all the way, and with a joyful heart."<br /><br />That last part seems to be the hardest one. ;)<br /><br />Hope you guys had a nice Christmas!I'm Erin.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02626333490835483567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007458324087857990.post-68892304621699871532009-03-01T00:04:00.000-06:002009-03-01T00:04:00.000-06:00Very good motto...borrowing it now :)And thanks fo...Very good motto...borrowing it now :)<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the rules for making rules.

I was a 6th grade teacher before I had kids, and we always had only 5 rules in our classes. We keep our rules simple, straightforward, and in line with the Word for our kids.

They will tell me, "Be nice." and then I usually ask, "Was that being nice when you did..." I've also posted the rules on the fridge, and we talked about them a lot when I first introduced them.Kristen, pajama mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336908966908604867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007458324087857990.post-46723387870324429572009-02-15T23:33:00.000-06:002009-02-15T23:33:00.000-06:00Love the motto and the rules...and thanks for the ...Love the motto and the rules...and thanks for the tips on creating your own family set of rules.<BR/>How old are your kids and do they really remember the five rules and how they relate (like no hitting falls under "respect other."
