Parents,

      A suggestion I give to all of my students parents is to develop an at home Acceptable Use Policy. These rules can be, but are not limited to, chores, manners, TV time, technology time in general, and/or internet usage. Once you have set rules in place you may tell your children about the consequences of breaking some rules. For example, if they do not do their chores then they do not get that week’s allowance. This is completely up to you, and I would never tell you what to do, but I will say I do think having rules in the household is important and beneficial. Your children will learn responsibility and gratitude from having rules set in place, which will in turn help them as students. There is a template you may use if you do choose to put rules in place.

Sincerely,

Blayre Rice
