Rules that hang
Family rules are not a punishment. They are sentences on the fridge (or by the charger) that the whole family knows. A child, a parent, a sibling — the same rules. Not “for you, because you are little”.
From the course you already have ideas. Now the final version — write them with the family, sign them as a symbol, a check date in half a year.
A draft of points (change them into your own words):
- The phone away at [time] or the charger in the living room.
- We do not read a password and a code from the phone to anyone. Not even to “support”.
- We do not lend the phone account.
- Public Wi-Fi — no sensitive things. The home Wi-Fi password not into chat.
- A photo like on the board by the headteacher.
- I lose the phone → a parent at once. Find My, not hunting on my own.
- Cyberbullying / a scam → a screenshot, an adult. 116 111.
It does not have to be seven. Five is enough. Short sentences. Big letters.
One word the family changes is a win. Then it is theirs. If you bring a finished law without asking, it hangs as decoration. Decoration is not kept.
How to finish it
-
Gather sentences from the phone audit, Shadow, Guard, Broadcaster. What already holds? What is missing?
-
A family meeting — fifteen minutes. Each person suggests one sentence. You merge them into five to seven.
-
Write on paper / print. The fridge. Not a photo into chat — paper at home.
-
A date for the next check — in half a year. Rules live.
What to say out loud
To the family:
“This is not a trap. It is so we know what holds at our house. If you want a different word, say so.”
To a parent:
“I want a final version of the rules. I will take ideas from the course. You add what fits at ours.”
Rules are not a list of how to catch a sibling. They are not a how-to for going around 2FA. When something happens, you go to an adult.
Project family rules
This is the final version of the 🏠 Family rules project. It hangs on the fridge. The phone audit is in a drawer. The campaign goes to school. A safer profile on a network.
Now you 💪
Agree a family meeting for the final rules. Prepare a draft of five sentences from the course.
If a meeting today does not work — write a date on paper. A final version with a date is a plan, not a dream.
Check: A draft of the rules is done. A meeting is agreed or a date. The fridge is waiting.
What to take from this lesson
- Final family rules = five to seven sentences, the whole family.
- The fridge, not chat. A check in half a year.
- Words from the audit, Shadow, Guard, Broadcaster.
- The family changes one word = their rules.
