Expectations

Ok I know I had a title like this once before but this is what we talked about at family day on Saturday. Being very specific on what your expectations are and what the consequence will be when the expectation is met- Consequences can be good or not so good.
For example- be respectful- not to specific right- this would be specific- I expect you to use words that are not verbally aggressive when you do this you will be able to play the Wii for 15 minutes a night-.
Or I expect you to follow my directions the first time you are asked and not tell me no- if you do this each time you....
very specifics and always follow through- a lot of process and a lot of consistency and a lot of time involved- but success in the end will follow
