OKay I'm trying to do a rules and boundaries for my setting.

As the minides are 2 and 5months, own dd3 and ds 5 I've been doing it with them.

What things do I include?? I've put how we share, take turns, only Emma opens the door, no runnning in the house, we play nice with the animals

I went on a behaviour management course recently and... apart from being inspired to write one of my books (!), I came away with the distinct impression we're not supposed to say 'don't' any more....

It's all about positive management - so instead of 'don't run' we say ' we walk in the house, we run outside' / instead of 'take off your shoes' we say 'we can take off our shoes by the door' .. that sort of thing

I have house rules which all the parents have agreed to.

I have things like:

Children mustn't stand or climb on my furniture
Children must sit at the table for meals and snacks
Swearing, answering back, name-calling and yelling isn't allowed
Hitting, pushing, biting, etc isn't allowed
Children can only play outside if supervised
Older children mustn't pick up babies or smaller children
Children are expected to say 'please' and 'thank you'

I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them.
