Note to parent or teacher: Here is a 20- to 30-minute lesson plan on the importance of rules and instruction, and how they help one to grow upright when they are followed.

Read “Discipline Helps Me Grow.”

Talk about some of the rules in your home that help you to build good habits, and why it’s important to follow through.

Watch “Do It ’Cause Daddy Said So.”

Read “A Sapling’s Support.”

Think of one or two things that you would like to do better in; for example, if you are having a difficult time cleaning up after yourself, make it a focus for the next week or two until it gets easier to remember to tidy up.
