In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule一what the punishment will be.
Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat. (暴力或威胁). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may let him stop his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.
