Don't give a kid an option you don't want them to take.
When needed, don't offer punishment you're not willing to carry out.
As your kids grow, always let them know were you are, when you will be back and be sure to let them know if you'll be late, don't just tell the sitter/relative. Making this the norm comes in very handy when they become teens.
Personal responsibility, learn it. Live it. Thanks mom.
