Beyond the framework

 "Character Camp" provided the framework--the principles of how we want kids to behave.  But once the principles are clear, you still need to fill in the rules.  You want to be centered on principles, but then you need to define the rules.  One of the principles we discussed in "Character Camp" was to set clear expectations.  Defining clear rules is part of this.

I created the list,  What we Expect from Our Kids, after a rough day with the kids.  I went through an entire book on manners, looking for those things that seem to be most important for our family situation.  The book was 365 Manners Kids Should Know: Games, Activities, and Other Fun Ways to Help Children Learn Etiquette.
