After handing out the posters, we talked through each rule and gave examples of real-life situations that kids might face. For example, we talked about following your parents' rules, even if you're not at your parents' house, using the example of a friend who wants to watch a movie or show you wouldn't be allowed to watch at home. With parents, we talked about how too much "hovering" can actually make a child less confident and more vulnerable, so I offered simple ways to let them feel some independence, such as using a changing room alone at the store, with the parent just outside the door. Then, families had a few minutes to discuss where they were doing well and where they could improve.
