As parents, we struggle with when to grant certain permissions and when to have difficult conversations. We often avoid such decisions, waiting until an external event forces the conversation or too many kids at school have been granted the same permission. To meet these challenges, parents need a framework that can adjust to the development needs of each child, the values of each community and the means of each family. \u003ci\u003eThe Birthday Rules\u003c\/i\u003e provides that framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Birthday Rules\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fun and flexible framework of an annual review process combined with a structure for increasing permissions, responsibilities and conversations.
