I have very few rules, but the ones I have cover everything.  Too many rules is too much to remember for both kids AND adults.  I go with the KISS (keep it short &amp; simple) philosophy: respect, responsibility and manners.<br>1. <strong>Respect </strong>- for yourself and others, for your things and the things belonging to others.<br>2. <strong>Responsibilty</strong> - for your words, deeds, and actions, for the things you are asked to do, for your own space not only at home, but in life in general.<br>3. <strong>Manners</strong> - Ma&#39;am/Sir, please, thank-you, you&#39;re welcome, holding doors if you get there first, and simple common courtesy &amp; politeness is NOT AN OPTION - it is a requirement in my house.<br>     But, if you really think about it, with these 3 simple rules, what have I missed in how we all wish our kids would behave and grow up?
