Be consistent with your limits

Children are more likely to respect limits that are consistent. If parents have made it clear that they expect their children to wash their hands before supper or do their homework before watching television, these limits should not change from day to day. Inconsistent limits are confusing. Inconsistent limits diminish our authority and undermine our children’s respect for us.

Should limits be consistent for all your children?
