Rules were made to be broken

One thing I have learned in all my years as a parent, babysitter and IS professional is that rules were made to be broken.

It's something we do-etheir intentionally or by accident. And as parents, we really tend to overreact when our children break rules.

If you're giving your child a tech device and not expecting them to break your rules, you're setting BOTH of you up for failure. Being a Present and Proactive parent means setting rules that 1) We expect to be broken and

2) Putting boundaries in to find out when those rules are broken to HELP our children recover from those mistakes.

Hopefully soon, we'll have these two incredible individuals coming to Las Vegas. Do you set rules knowing they will be broken?
