Pretty good advise for very very wrong reasons. Don’t listen to this man.
Tell the truth:
Don’t test your kids and trap them and then punish them. That’s manipulative.
Do it:
Don’t just command and punish. Explain why they need to do the task. How it benefits them to do it.
What if you have a kid with brain problems that can’t remember any rules?
Great video! This information is so important to keep in mind while raising our kids!
Great rules but if you tell the child to take out the trash and then after they fail to do it the first time you tell him to do it again with an associated punishment, aren’t you actualy training them to do it the second time you ask?
Just finished reading ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ and it really opened my eyes to some new ways of guiding my kids in their faith. Highly recommend it if you’re looking to strenghten your family’s spiritual life
Thank you for sharing these rules which are great. Enforcing the rules is the hard part for us and wondering how do you enforce the rules with kids? What are the consequences when they don’t follow the rules?
Ang advice from people here would be super appreciated 🙂
These are great rules for the home. They cover everything.
YOU ARE ONE M6 MOOOOOOOOOOOOOST FAVOURITE PERSON.I HAVE LEAENT SOOO MUCH AS A MOTHER, EDUCATOR AND EARLY YEARS TEACHER. I IMPLEMENTED SOOOO MANY THINGS THAT YOU ALWAYS EMPHASISE UPON. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ❤
Sorry, lost me at "obey". Not my style of parenting. Thank you anyway.
Wow. This is terrible.
Thata how you get a lot of issues in puberty. Have fun…
None of this works if your wife undercuts you with a handful of suckers behind your back.
Great stuff!
Can’t listen to a man who supports “ cry it out “ and sleep training for babies.

How do you work this with very different kids, I have one kid who does anything I ask the first time I ask, but I have to ask for everything as she never puts anything away after and has many different (relatively plausible) reasons. My son acts like he didn’t hear me the first time (he is a daydreamer so it’s true most of the time)but he nearly always puts things away afterwards, he loves to tidy his room
What are some good consequences?
What are consequences we have a hard time with consequences
Thai video is shit
what are “consequences”?
1. Tell the Truth.
2. We treat each other with respect. MODEL RESPECT.
3. Do What Mom or Grandma says the First Time. DO NOT TRAIN THEM. FOR 3- 5 Times Or Yelling.
4. Put away if you get it out.
5. Ask for permission before you Go Somewhere.
6. DON’T MAKE A PROBLEM.
I modelled and raised my kids in a clean home all their lives and what are they now?…SLOBS!!!
Excellent Guide! ❤
Thanks for the kid rules. ❤
All these rules become rubbish when child enters teenage, when they face the world outside, when they are betrayed, when bullied, etc.
Can somebody explain me rule number 4 please?❤ English is not my native language thanks!
You are the parent. You set everything! Remember that!!
Talk to your child(ren)as a person. Communicate in complete subject verb agreement sentences. Don’t ask a question you don’t want answered.
Can you start this with teens ?
Becoming Better Parents by Prof. Maurice Bolson
We live in an instant-gratification microwave society. We have been conditioned to expect instant results, or we get angry, disappointed, or depressed. We have greater opportunities to connect with others; however, we are more disconnected than ever before. We have all the information of the world at our fingertips but shorter attention spans than ever before. What are we doing to ourselves? We have everything other generations could only dream about; however, we can never find our peace, contentment, or joy. We feel pressure to go faster and faster while getting nowhere. This book (Slow Down!) will briefly explain how less is more and how immediate happiness might lead to a life of disappointment, discouragement, and depression. If you truly want the fastest route to long-lasting and meaningful joy, you may want to consider slowing down! "SLOW DOWN! A Dad’s Simple Advice to His Children and to the World" By Jeff Chappy Chapman
The first and foremost rule of every family to function is:
-Faith in God! Worship Him alone without any partner and follow His flawless laws. Only then you can start implementing what he is saying.
DOCTOR BECKY: GOOD INSIDE.
**I grew up with a short tempered screaming father, Who really like to hit everyone. and screaming, hitting, mother. Goooooood times**
Determined to NOT be an asshole parent myself….. Understanding I was doomed to become them someday, I started reading books when he was little, before he hit those years of Fighting me on anything…. Because I didn’t want to become Jekyll and Hyde.
I have 3 kids. All this is wonderful and easy and makes sense with normal kids. My middle one has ADHD you can throw all this into garbage.
What’s not clear here, is what type of consequences should child face if they don’t follow the rules. Say, a child doesn’t want to go to the nursery, they ran away from me to their toys. I tell them, "please come here, it’s time to put your shoes on". And the child answers – "no". What type of consequences should they face? I have no idea. I just go there, take them by their hand and bring them over to put their shoes on. I also often ask them if they would like to come themselves or they want me to force them. Sometimes they chose to come over themselves, sometimes not.
Why couldn’t this man have a PDAer? God, why? I’d listen to him then….
❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Doc, Do these rules still apply for kids that have ADHD?
I just wish the whole world followed these rules and raised their kids that way… Imagine this place then…
One of THE best books I ever read about child rearing was “Parenting is not for cowards.” by Dr. James Dobson

"A Truck Full of Knowledge" is a good book for teens!
Is it reasonable to expect toddlers to follow rules to a certain extent, based on their developmental stage? For example, how could I start instilling the importance of doing what your parents say the first time in a way that a 2yo can understand or follow?
