Family rules help children understand what behaviors are okay and not okay. As children grow, they will be in places where they have to follow rules. Following rules at home can help children learn to follow rules in other places. It is normal for children to break rules and test limits. Attend this training to explore your own parental practices while contemplating how the family rules in your house impact your child’s growth and development.
