Home Rules & Shared Responsibilities
Home Rules & Shared Responsibilities
Free illustrated guides for family conversations
Free illustrated guides for family conversations
Growing up means discovering new freedoms, responsibilities and boundaries. Everyday routines—brushing teeth, completing homework, using screens safely or keeping a bedroom tidy—can sometimes become sources of disagreement.
These illustrated Home Rules & Consequences guides help children and adults explore expectations together. Through colourful characters and straightforward language, they introduce healthy routines, digital safety, respect, responsibility and growing independence.
The aim is not perfect behaviour. It is clearer understanding, cooperation and trust.

Make the conversation your own
Make the conversation your own
Every child is different, and every family has its own routines. Use these guides as conversation starters.
Discuss which expectations suit your child’s age and needs. Agree on manageable routines, listen to their suggestions and talk about fair, proportionate responses when things go wrong.
Keep reassurance at the heart of the conversation:
“I love you very much. You can always talk to me. I will listen.”
“I love you very much. You can always talk to me. I will listen.”
