Welcome To KidsContracts!
KidsContracts are helping parents set behavior boundaries with their teens and pre-teens using 9 simple, fill-in-the-blank agreements.
KidsContracts are very simple to use, fill-in-the-blank, agreements which cover a wide variety of important health, safety, social and educational issues. We think you will find that these contracts are one of the most important things that you and your child will ever agree to. We also think your investment (time and money) in these agreements will be one of the best investments you ever made.
KidsContracts are written in easy-to-understand language, which clearly defines what is expected of your child and what the consequences are if they choose to ignore one or more of the agreements. Children look for clear guidance from their parents or guardians concerning what is right or wrong, and what will happen if they break the rules.
What the Experts Are Saying:
"Moms and Dads need to sit down and work on a game plan. Rules for the household must be structured and agreed upon. The rules need to be simple enough for even the youngest family members to understand."
"Consequences for infractions must be known in advance, must be fair and consistently administered by both parents. Many parents feel guilty about the lack of time they spend with their kids and don't want to have it "ruined" by disciplining them. Yet if you don't discipline them, the time you have with them can be very unpleasant."
"It is the creation of structure and order that will calm your children. The predictability that results is greatly reassuring."
Russell G. Robertson, M.D., Associate Professor of Family and Community Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
"I think contracts are a great idea, in fact I encourage them in my practice."
