Putting Rules And Regulations To Our Children Really Helps?

Rules are important for children to be aware of their limits. During my younger days, I couldn't understand why my mom would not let us play right after we wake up. My sister and I had to wax the floor, dust the furnitures, do the dishes, wash some of our clothes...etc while the children in our neighborhood were already running after each other playing all sorts of outdoor games. I remembered detesting and protesting in silence but well, those were my mom's rules. Believe it or not, I am now thanking her for being a little bit strict and for instilling in our minds the value of responsibilities... that we could only play after we do our day's household chores. This we carry to our workplace. We become discipline and can work with lesser supervision. Even when our bosses are not around, we are trained to finish first whatever work that are expected of us before becoming relaxed. So in some ways, setting rules do guide our children to travel a straight path.

No, the problem about these rules and regulations in respect with your kids is kind of trying run their lives when they are supposed to be the ones who are running their own lives. These kids who get controlled by their parents tend to rebel more than to be obedient.

It is a matter of balance. Rules and regulations are part of living and fitting in society and children should be taught about the need of said rules but in my opinion they should also be taught about freedom of choice and be given opportunities to make their own choices. In other words, I think it is all very well to teach our kids the rules but they should be allowed to make their own mistakes to in order to learn too.

I think it helps to our children if we putting rules and regulations on them and they never learns any bad habits. So it is a very good things to avoid to getting any bad habits because children always learns many bad habits if their parents not strict with them and not putting some rules and regulation on them.

Said rules and regulations seems a mouthful. Basically, as parents we wished to raise children who are not deviants nor rebels. Rules may sometimes make our children mad but they are there to place order in our home life. It also helps them be a better person and a responsible citizen. Our primary aim is to make our children independent individuals, God fearing, emotionally, intellectually and financially stable.

for me putting rules and regulations the children is really helpful because it make the children responsible enough to there accountability, one way of training them to respect parents, because if you will not give then rules that they need to follow for sure they are not a ware that they have responsibility to follows that they are not living just for them self.............

Hello friend, Rules and regulations for children is good,as long as it will not choked them. I don't have much rules and regulations for my kids. It's not easy to be a single parent for 3 growing kids aged 16,14 and 11,not to mention that 2 are boys. What i did is,be their friend,i dance with their music and sing with their tunes. Then,it become easier for me to say my do's and don'ts ,becoz they listen to me,not only as a mother but their friend too. Sometimes,it can't be avoided that they still breaks some rules,at least not too often,and they admitted their mistakes too. I also listen to them,it's not only me talking,but we do have conversation and not a sermon. Yes,they answered me back,i let them...in that manner they can easily stress out what they feel. In this new era,young generations doesn't need hard discipline,but understanding and knowing what they want,what they feel and most of all...knowing our kids personally. Mosts kids trusts their friends more than their family...and i don't want it to happen to my kids.

Hi, As a parent, we have a duty to educate our children into a good manner and want them to be a good person. For me, I am writing in black and white for the rules and regulation for my son,but I am telling him what is right and wrong,what he can do and what he can't do.This kind of training process has to be done since he was young. I just hope that my son will know and understand that what I am doing now is for his better future life.

This depends upon the child. There are few kids who are quiet and discplined and listen to us when something is told.But there are also kids who are otherwise. Imposing rules and regulations till certain age to the latter half makes sense. I would impose and be strict till the age of 5 or 6 maximum. Later on kids have exposure and can sense things. Thats when they start comparing us to their friends parents. And then it is time for us explain them in a different way. You will have to be friendly. Todays world is changed. Kids are no more afraid of thier parents nor do they have the respect we had for our parents. So once they have the basic discipline you can then be friends to them, and also keep cautioning them or scolding them once in a while.

Hi All, As per my views, taking care of children by providing all the necessary things like good education,healthy food, their love and affection, so that children can live their life and become a good human being. Rules and regulations should be a part of day to day routine for the children, but not to make them frustated by mandating them to do the things, but make them understand that how these rules and regulations will make them better human being and these rules and regulations which parents teach the children during their early age help them follow it during their lifetime and get the appreciation from other, that how good thair parents have grown up their children. Few of the rules and regulations like: 1) Do not waste food 2) respect your elders 3) wash your hands before and after meals etc which parents teach their children during their early age , which becomes a part of their life and is being respected by others
