Arm Kids with Real Reasons

"This post is inspired by a comment left a while back. I'm sorry I don't remember who to credit, but thank you for some great advice.

While raising your children, arm them with the rules they can take with them when they leave your home. The universal rules that govern us all. "Because I said so" doesn't mean jack once they leave your house. Teach them the real reason to do or not do things. If you can't come up with a better reason than "because I said so", it's time to rethink your expectations."
