These rules can cover a lot of things, such as what chores children are expected to do, how much time children are expected to spend with their family and so on. Children may not like the rules sometimes, but it is important to remember that parents set house rules because they want their children to be perfect.However, sometimes too many rules may make children feel upset. They may think the rules are too strict or the other people in the house are expecting too much from them. Then they may feel they have to start lying about what they’re doing. But I don’t think breaking the house rules is a good idea—in fact in may make things worse and they will probably end up having even more rules. Do you have the same problem? There are lots of things you can do if you don’t agree with some of the house rules:Try to ask if you can help decide what the rules are.Explain to your parents that you wish the house rules to be realistic.Share your feelings with your parents so that they know what you are thinking and what you expect. When a house rule gets broken, wait until everyone clams down before talking about what happened and why.76 Why do parents set house rules for their children?____________________________________________.77 How may children feel sometimes if there are too many house rules?____________________________________________.78 What will probably happen if children break the house rules?____________________________________________.79 When should you talk with your parents when a house rule gets broken?____________________________________________80 How many pieces of advice does the writer give in the passage?___________________________________________.81 Does your family have house rules?
