Catherine creates rules for her younger brother David to help him understand how other people behave and how the world works. Have you ever wanted to make up a list of rules for a member of your own family? Well, now you can! Take a look at the examples below that you may want to use, and feel free to add your own!
Don’t follow me everywhere I go (unless we’re playing Follow the Leader).
Knock first!
If you want to play with one of my toys, please put it back when you’re done.
Take my side when someone is teasing me.
Never say mean things like, “The dog likes me better!”
Don’t borrow my clothes without asking, and be extra careful not to spill anything on them!
No spying or snooping on me when I’m with my friends.
Sometimes I get to choose what we’ll do, and sometimes you get to decide.
Say yes (sometimes, at least!) when I ask you to play with me.
Don’t hog the computer or the phone or the TV.
When I’m upset, ask me, “Why?” Then listen.
