One additional problem I can anticipate with our boys is what happens when they use the "STOP" rule against the adults. i.e. when we are telling one or both of them off about something?

My two little brothers definitely had a problem with sibling rivalry when they were little. It did some good but also caused some unnecessary fights. I don't think it was ever bullying. This is a great thing for parents to learn about and keep an eye out for.

I believe that parents who respect each other and their children, will raise well-adjusted children. Having a stop rule is an excellent suggestion. From my perspective children live and learn what is occurring within the environment created by their parents.

I think my husband needs to read this post. He's always been a jokester kind of guy but my daughter takes it so personally sometimes. He may not see the harm in it but I do.

Thanks for sharing this with the Carnival of Family Life.
