Parents should try to determine where their child fits in his or her natural abilities to be kind and friendly so parents will know where to begin. It is important to develop clear family laws and provide for repentance and apology as well as for consistent justice. The Eyres chose five home laws. Example of a natural-consequence is the poor grade the child who fails to study will get on a school test. More is often learned from repenting and forgiving than from being punished, say the Eyres.
Peace means no hitting, fighting, yelling, whining and so forth.
Asking means children aren't to go anywhere or invite anyone over without permission. Order means keeping their rooms straight, picking up after themselves. Obedience means doing what parents say. Pegs represent duties and responsibilities - doing assigned jobs, completing homework, practicing their musical instruments, brushing teeth, being in bed on time, etc. The Eyres keep a peg board.
