The official "Bugg Family Respect Rules"

In a recent post, I mentioned that our boys drafted up a list of family respect rules to hang in a prominent spot in our home. A few of you mentioned an interest in seeing those rules, so here they are. (Keep in mind, these are rules that a 10 and five year old came up with!)

The Bugg Family Respect Rules

1. LOVE EACH OTHER

  • Play with each other

2. KNOCK BEFORE ENTERING BEDROOMS, BATHROOMS OR OFFICES

  • Wait for an answer before entering the room

3. ASK BEFORE PLAYING WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S THINGS

4. DON'T INTERRUPT WHEN SOMEONE IS ON THE PHONE

5. DON'T INTERRUPT A PERSON DURING A CONVERSATION

6. MAKE SURE TO LISTEN WHEN SOMEONE'S TALKING

  • Look in the person's eyes
  • Answer any questions they may have
  • Respond respectfully when spoken to

7. PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF

  • Toys, clothes, books, etc.

8. DON'T SPEAK IN ANGER

  • Walk away into another room if you need to calm down

9. DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FOOD SERVED

  • If you don't like it, you can still be thankful by saying, “Thank you for making supper tonight – I really appreciate it.”

10. J – O – Y (JESUS – OTHERS – YOURSELF)

  • Think of what Jesus would do, think of others first, then yourself

11. IF GOD MADE IT, DON'T HURT IT!

12. CLOSE ALL DOORS QUIETLY

  • Someone might be sick or sleeping

13. DON'T MAKE FUN OF OTHER PEOPLE

  • Different colour, race, size, etc.

14. TAKE CARE OF OUR BELONGINGS

15. BE GENTLEMEN, NOT CAVEMEN

  • Open doors for people
  • Look for ways to help people at the grocery store, etc.

16. DON'T BE BOSSY

  • Unless your sibling is in danger or there is a big emergency, don't tell them what to do. Instead, enjoy being a child and call a parent if you need help.

17. BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT WE HAVE!

A few of you mentioned that your family also has a list of rules or values for your home. Would you be willing to share those with the rest of us? Please feel free to leave a comment here or even on our Facebook wall!
