Have a family meeting on rules and beliefs
Together decide on reasonable consequences
Avoid punishing, guilting, and criticizing
If mistake is made – fix it
Its not what you say its how you say it
Calm down – to use your brain
Try to meet your basic needs every day
Open up the territory
Always take two minutes to listen
