The thing about having kids is that they are always growing. always changing. as soon as i figure something out that works, it no longer works, or i get distracted. but i wrote these rules for coming up with our family rules when my oldest was 5. i knew a lot about being a mom back then. now my oldest is nearing 10, and i know very little.
but my friend, rachel, reminded me of my rules and asked to borrow them. so i read back over them, and they're pretty good. good enough to go back over them with my kids and see what happens.
rachel is posting the rules over at Every Days Best today. she is too kind in her introduction, but we have been friends since forever. and when i read in proverbs this week, love wisdom like a sister, it made me think of her.
do you have a set of family rules? how do you teach your children your expectations?
