Umbrella rules

Evergreen parents understand that a home with house rules creates a stable and safe environment that supports growth.

A few things to remember:

• Rules are for order, but most importantly for protection.
• Children welcome rules, if they understand that rules protect them and if it makes sense to them.
• “Force breeds rebellion, discussion breeds fellowship.”
• Rules, and the consequences if they are broken, should be clear.
• Consistency is key! It ensures a fair system.
• Less is more. Rules are more effective when it is simple and only a few to remember.
• House rules apply to every member of the family!
