Of course, raising seven kids (and having kids \u201cat home\u201d for 35 years!), we have a lot of \u201creal life\u201d examples of everything we teach. And this topic is no exception with our rather humorous (but true life!) story of how our \u201clittle boys\u201d came up with the \u201cTen Second Rule for Food on the Ceiling\u201d!<\/p>\n

If you find yourself barking orders to kids for every move they make\u2014and you\u2019re not really feeling like you are getting to the important stuff\u2014you might be right. I hope this video helps!<\/p>\n

Love and hope,

A. 10 Second Rule for Food on Ceiling<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Pizza crust on ceiling
2. What type of behavior is this?<\/p>\n

\n

\n

B. Major on the Majors With Behaviors<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. We tend to treat all behaviors equally– But are they?<\/p>\n

a. Detrimental because kids think everything is the same!
b. We are not showing them the weightiness of 4 D\u2019s when pizza crust on the ceiling is the same weight as lying, cheating, being disrespectful, etc.<\/p>\n

2. Childish behaviors<\/p>\n

a. Excited children
b. Kids not understanding cause and effect
c. Forgetfulness, incompleteness, messiness, laziness, etc.<\/p>\n

3. 4 D Behaviors Disobedience (4 D\u2019s Video 1 and 2: https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/video-the-four-ds-of-behavior-poster-pack\/\\<\/a>)<\/p>\n

a. Disobedience<\/p>\n

i. Direct disobedience (as opposed to forgetting or skipping something)
ii. One of the first behaviors to focus on with young children for their safety and wellness<\/p>\n

b. Disrespect<\/p>\n

i. Disrespectful words, attitudes, and responses
ii. Way more important than pizza crust on the ceiling<\/p>\n

c. Deceit<\/p>\n

i. Any dishonesty, stealing
ii. Don\u2019t candy coat it with euphemisms—fibs, white lies. Etc.<\/p>\n

d. Destruction (purposeful destruction)<\/p>\n

i. Not accidents
ii. Purposely destroying or breaking things
iii. Striking\/harming another<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

C. Tips for Majoring on Majors<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t say no unless you\u2019ll go https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/dont-say-no-unless-youll-go\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

a. Stop saying something if you will not follow through on it (especially with toddlers and preschoolers)
b. If you\u2019re not moving from your chair, it\u2019s not important enough to call it out<\/p>\n

2. Use character training\/consequences for routine behaviors\u2014don\u2019t \u201cground them forever for not doing dishes\u201d—that should be used for 4 D\u2019s<\/p>\n

a. Consequence Pies—available HERE at the store<\/a>
b. Routine misbehaviors like not following through, not staying on schedule, not doing the chore chart, forgetting, etc., should be handled with training and consequences<\/p>\n

3. Teach your littles what obedience really is (Obedience Math Posters https:\/\/characterinkstore.com\/product\/obedience-math-printable-poster-pack\/)<\/p>\n

a. Article: https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/day-eighty-six-obedience-math-childishness-versus-willfulness-part-ii-of-iv\/<\/a>\u00a0
b. Consider age of child and repeat, repeat, repeat!<\/p>\n

4. When you want to work on direct obedience, make your commands direct too!<\/p>\n

a. Eye contact
b. Explanation
c. Response<\/p>\n

5. Make systems, routines, and schedules for anything that is repeatable\/routine<\/p>\n

a. Kids will know what to expect
b. You will need to train and follow up forever<\/p>\n

6. Stop making big deals out of little deals!
7. Use Expectation Explanations to set things up for their behaviors (first Donna Daily\/Mama Monday video: https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/using-expectation-explanations-in-your-parenting-live-video-training\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n
