Mama's Rules?
Mar. 20th, 2010 12:42 pmOne of the Japanese TV shows recently had a short piece talking about "Mama's Rules" where mama is a retired professional wrestler (now turned TV talent). She has two boys -- one in 6th grade, one in 1st grade. I didn't catch all four of the rules, but here are two.
( In the ring? )
What I think I like best about both of these is that her rules put the control in the kid's hands. You want to try a sport or something? Fine, but you have to make a commitment. You want candy or something? Fine, but you have to buy it with your own money. And it seems as if she's looking at situations that she runs into with the kids and working out sensible approaches, instead of just doing snap responses. Good thinking!
