It is better to bind your children to You by a feeling of respect and by gentleness, than by fear

House Rules
I have a few simple 'House Rules'. They are designed to help us all work and play together happily and safely. I will provide you with a copy of them and they are available for children to see in my home, both in words and in pictures. I will ensure that children understand the rules and the reason for having them. Mostly they are to ensure the safety of all those in the home and to help the children learn to respect each other and others property. They may be similar to the 'rules' that you have in your home :)
We all sit at the table to eat and drink.
This is to prevent spills and chocking accidents. It also helps to create a social atmosphere in which children can learn good table manners.
We look after the toys and play with them correctly
We learn not to throw toys as this could hurt someone and/or break toy.
We treat the furniture with respect
This is to prevent children from falling off settees and hurting themselves and also to learn to respect others property and to use things for what they were designed.
We remove our shoes in the hallway
We don’t want to tread mud (or worse) onto the carpets and flooring.
We treat others how we would like to be treated
WE learn good manners. Please and thank you and we are nice to each other. We do not allow any hurting of each other either by physical or verbal means.
We share our toys and activities and help to tidy away when finished with them.
We will not fall over toys and hurt ourselves if we keep the floor tidy.
