Hello again! I hope you guys have had a great week. We have had family in town and I’ve been a slacker! Most of our family lives far away, so we stop what we are doing when they come for a visit. My husband’s family is from Colorado which means a plane trip for them or us. My siblings are in Texas and Dubai, which is definitely a plane ride away.
We still have a sister in town, but I didn’t want to leave my sweet readers hanging. I decided to do a short and simple post that I’ve been saving.
Back when the chalkboard craze hit, I decided to try my own chalkboard family rules. I love all the new fancy fonts, the chalkboard doodles, etc., but a few years ago I wasn’t sure how to put it all together. My chalkboard skills have improved greatly, but if you like it simple, you may enjoy this.
Here is a copy of our family rules from a few years ago.

Those rules were in our kitchen for a long time until my oldest Piggy started preschool. We needed some simple rules for our toddlers – ones that we could review before school each morning. I tried to think of a way to help him remember his rules by using parts of his body. It seems to work great!
Here are our current family rules:

He is getting to the point where we need to start moving his name, and adding some rewards and consequences. For now, we use time-out. We read the book 1, 2, 3…Magic last year and loved it! It was a game changer! Piggy One still has a hard time, but I have to remember that he is 3. If you have not read this book, and you are looking for a good foundation for discipline, I would highly recommend it!
How do you track your rules? I am always interested how parents handle their little Piggies at home. (This post contains an affiliate link, but the views of the product are my own.)
Thanks,
Heather
