  2. Three basic principles for guiding and disciplining children Principle #1: “Less is more” • Keep important rules to a minimum • Have clear consequences for breaking those rules

  3. Consequences • Make sure children know what the consequences for breaking rules are • Make sure you are willing to implement them

  4. Consequences, cont. • Don’t choose consequences that are too harsh or impossible to enforce

  5. Follow Through • When a rule has been broken, allow one warning • Don’t threaten—remind the child they have broken the rule and they have another chance
