Consistency Is Key

In raising children, I found consistency to be the most important factor. When children know what to expect and what the rules are they are most likely to obey them and to be happy when doing so.

Have you ever played a game where you decide to not follow the rules? Chaos is usually the result. Consultants have made fortunes telling companies how to run meetings, one of the things they always do is to set up rules for participating.

The old adage "Say what you mean and mean what you say" applies here. Think about what you are going to say before you say it and then follow through. Everyone will be happier as a result!
