P.S. Your older two children can model the desired behavior for the younger ones. Set these two up to be helpers by giving a more specfic role and provide rewards for their behavior. Also, they are old eough to explain the sad consequences of not following the rules. The younger ones will do so much better when the older ones are modeling the behavior and encouraging them. Your master teaching role just got stepped up a bit! I second the motion for ax xpen type of safe zone for the pup when visual supervision is out of the question. |
