Road Rules In a mini-van world

It sounds cliche but we hadn't left New Jersey and the crew is growing unruly. The kids don't realize how long we are going to be together in the mini-van...so we decided it's time for RULES.

Here is what we came up with,

Rules of the mini-van:

• Use Kind Words
• No Yelling
• Respect each others space
• If you have a problem - state it with a solution
• Keep your area neat and shoes close by
• Speak-up for your needs
• No Tantrums - Use Self Control

Like a contract, we passed around the list for everyone to sign their name in agreement.

The experience was similiar to when, right before you download a new program to your computer, they ask you to 'agree' to an endless list of terms....who ever reads those?

Everyone signed and as expected...continued as they were.
