need some rules for my 3 year old?

Question

I need to have a list of good set rule posted for my 3 year old nd you can add some parent advice too!!!!

Answer 1

buy or make a rewards chart. i have this in my house and every time my 3 yr old does her chores, she put a sticker on the chart. she gets excited when she did something. for every 30 stickers she have, she gets to get a prize from the "treasure box" (shoe box filled with goodies like stickers or cheap toys) or she can go to her favorite restaurant and order what she wants. for everytime she misbehaves, i take one sticker out of her chart. 3 yr olds have a hard time really grasping the concept of rules and responsibilities, so try to be creative in getting their attention to do something.

Answer 2

If you don't have them now, 13 is going to be really BAD!
You have to set rules that is your duty as a parent.
Without them you aren't doing your job.
Letting them run wild and spoiled doesn't work.
RESPECT should be #1. respect for you, your home, family, their possessions, your possessions.etc.
DISCIPLINE watch the Nanny show on TV, she always has good ideas, when all else fails a swat on the butt will get the point across. (not to hurt but to make a point, they will get the message)
No saying NO! 2 and 3 yearolds like to say NO back to parents, that must be unacceptable.
Direct Defiance Should never be tolerated, this is when the Naughty chair or timeout is good.
They have to know you mean it and that there are consequences for bad behavior.
What you are trying to get across is that all their life they will face consequences for bad decisions. This has to be done now while small, other wise you will be banging your head against a brick wall at 13-18.
Right now it is Time out, later is it JAIL.
Right now it is stealing gum at the store, later it is Stealing car stereo's
Right now it is back talk, later, they won't care what you say.
They will do what they want.
Right now it is tough on you to discipline them, I had an ADD kid and I cried when I discplined him, now I wish I had done more, he has been in jail,.
There is no such thing as being too strict.
BE STRICT and don't let your child manipulate you.

Some basic rules...you must wash your hands after you potty, before you eat or touch food. You must hold hands with an adult in busy public places. No hitting, No yelling indoors. Which words we do not use (bad words). No jumping on the couch, bed, what ever.
At three years old it is important to set rules, but also to allow them time to be a kid.
Get some scented soap to let them use to wash their hands, and make a big deal out of it when they do it without a fuss.
Let them run free in spaces that you can see them and have control in, but not in parking lots and busy stores.
If you say no yelling indoors, let them yell as loud as they can with your outside, before they go in...or when they are frustrated take them outside to yet for 30 seconds.
Discuss bad words, and what a better way to say it is.
Give them a place that is OK to jump....or when it is OK.
You can set all the rules you want, but with out the follow through and guidelines people will generally break the rules (not just 3 year old's).

Answer 4

We have one rule in our house: be respectful. It takes years to learn the nuances of it, but it covers everything. Clean up after yourself, inside voice, reasonable bedtime, no hitting, no throwing food, share...

We used Parenting with Love and Logic which helped us hugely! They have a book and also have classes that they offer all over the United States.

Parenting with Love and Logic focuses primarily on teaching kids to be responsible and respectful and also how to be a good, critical thinker. It puts the parents and kids on the same side and lets the natural consequences do the teaching.

Answer 5

1. NO hitting
2. Share the toys.
3. Wash hands after bathroom visit
4. Put toys away when done with them.
5. Hug Mommy

Hope this helps!!Lol!

Answer 6

The most important thing I've learned as a parent is that no matter what your rules are you have to follow through with the punishment. Don't use threats you can't follow through with.

Answer 7

Can your 3 year old read? Instead of posting them why dont you try installing them in him. Allow him to learn with experience. My advise is to be consistant with your rules! Dont let him get away with something one time and not another. Good luck

Answer 8

First of all, make it clear that there is to be no hitting, biting, ect. Make sure that you do not ever hit your child... this will give him or her the message that it is okay. Use punishments such as standing in the corner for maybe 10 minutes, or sitting in a time out chair.

Answer 9

a 3 yo can't read posted rules. You have to be consistant with what is ok and what is a no-no. have specific punishments for each offense so that he will know what to expect when he decides to act up.

Answer 10

Pick up all toys & put them away before each meal.
Put dirty clothes in hamper as soon as they are taken off.
Say "please" and "thank you".
Eat what's on your plate.
No whining, especially at stores.
