Even when they are very little we try to institute the order of appeal. If they have first talked to the other person (offender) and they are not received well or a compromise can not be come to, then they are welcome to come to us or another adult in charge and appeal for help. This of coarse is for issues relating to sibling rivalry or verbal bullying. We always tell our kids if they are hurt in any way please please please let mommy and daddy know asap so we can help them. We want our kids to be comfortable coming to us but we also want them to be equipped to speak up for themselves when they do not like or appreciate what they are experiencing.

I told my kids that if there is (or going to be) broken bones, blood, fire etc. I most certainly want to know. If a sibling is doing something against house rules or something you want them to stop doing then ask them nicely (not in anger or with an attitude) two times and then get a parent to help. I did this because I want my children to be willing to confront someone when they are doing something wrong. I also want them to try to work it out on their own without involving me if possible. If not, we work it out together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
