Play Sense

*Helping Children Understand the Reason Behind Rules*

As parents and teachers, we know how important it is to set boundaries and rules for our little ones. But did you know that explaining the "why" can make a world of difference in how they respond? Children are naturally curious and eager to learn about their environment. By taking the time to explain the reasons behind rules, we help them understand the importance and foster a sense of cooperation.

For instance, instead of just telling a child, “We clean up our toys,” you can say, “We clean up our toys so they don’t get lost or broken.” This simple explanation helps children see the value in the action and encourages them to take responsibility.

Here are a few more examples:
“We hold hands while crossing the street because it keeps us safe from cars.”
“We eat our meals at the table so that we don’t make a mess and can enjoy our food together.”
“We share our toys with friends so that everyone can have fun and feel included.”

By providing the reasoning behind rules, you’re not just enforcing them—you’re teaching your child valuable lessons about safety, responsibility, and kindness. Plus, it helps build trust and understanding, making it easier for children to follow the rules willingly.

So next time you set a rule, remember to explain the why. It’s a small step that can lead to big positive changes in your child’s behavior and understanding. 🌟

💩When it comes to parenting advice, potty training is one of the most searched topics on the Internet. The reason is that most parents wonder how on earth their little one will transition from the ease of disposable nappies. In years gone by, toweling nappies were so uncomfortable and such a hassle for moms that potty training was initiated much earlier by baby and mom. If your toddler is still in nappies you may want to look at Meg Faure’s advice on potty training: https://tinyurl.com/pottytrainingmegfaure

The real need on Earth has been to love the dark side of ourselves, to find reconciling and redeeming understanding of that — to explain the psychological origins of our deeply distressed condition and by so doing heal our troubled souls and set ourselves free — and it is precisely that all-important liberating understanding of ourselves that is presented in biologist Jeremy Griffith’s work - COMPLETELY FREE TO LEARN ABOUT AT www.HumanCondition.com
