A little bit about me
I am the type of person who desires clear/direct communication and expectations, and do not use consequences as a threat to receive good behavior from children. In the same way that I desire to good communication with the parents, I so communicate with the children. By laying out clear boundaries and expectations, along with the consequences that follow if those are not met, I have found that this builds a level of trust and respect with both the parents and children.
