Store Rules for Children
1. Be careful when opening the door so you do not hit the car next to you
2. When you get out of the van~ stand next to the side of the van but do not rub on it and get dirty!
3. While walking in the parking lot~hold hands with buddy or hold on to the stroller/cart. Walk youngest to oldest behind Mom. Don't get out of line. (Too many kids walking/running everyone is disrespectful to the other shoppers!)
4. Do not run ahead or at all = severe consequences!!!!!!
5. No crawling on the floor or laying under the shopping cart
6. Do not wrestle, touch or hit your brothers in any way. You can only hold hands
7. Use inside voice at ALL times. No yelling/screaming.
8. No hiding
9. No tantrums/fits/whining/angry outbursts
10. Do not ask for anything while in the store. Mom has already made the list and asked beforehand
11. Do not touch and items or price tags
12. Do NOT talk to strangers unless Mom is there! DO not go anywhere without mom
13.SMILE :) Game: see who can smile the whole time
14. Manners with People:
~ always smile
~ always stop & listen
~ always look at them in the eye
~ always speak kindly, even when they are not
* We draw a lot of attention being a family of only boys that have such a similar look. People are naturally curious. Some are kind. And some have rude things to say. If they do, always smile! I tell them it's "FUN!", and a wonderful blessing from God.
** Disobedience is dealt with at home
***Reward good behavior~ ex:piece of gum when you get to the car. Especially great behavior:~ ex: stop for an ice cream cone
**** Do the boys always do this/complete obedience? Not at all. They are kids after all. Amd are given consequences in private. So, if you see me, and the kids are misbehaving~ pray for us. It's one of those days!
