Have you ever noticed that some kids really like a detailed and specific set of rules while others respond better to general guidelines? What happens when you have one style of approaching rules and other members of your family just don’t get it? I’m a guidelines kind of a gal living with someone who could have been a referee. LOVES rules.
Here are a few thoughts on the topic… from better minds than mine!
- “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” ~ Albert Einstein
- “You are remembered for the rules you break.” ~ Gen. Douglas MacArthur
- “You can’t break the rules until you know how to play the game.” ~ Rickie Lee Jones
