Course overview
Lesson Overview

6.20 – Explaining the “Why” Behind Rules: Understanding the reason for a rule increases willingness to follow it. When parents explain the “why,” they nurture critical thinking and respect. Blind obedience creates compliance without comprehension. Children who grasp the purpose behind guidelines see fairness instead of control. This dialogue invites questions and builds trust. It also prepares children for adulthood, where reasoning replaces authority. Explaining rules helps them connect actions to safety, respect, or family values. It transforms “because I said so” into meaningful learning. Over time, understanding the “why” leads to self-regulation. Clarity replaces conflict when reasoning becomes part of discipline.
