House Rules

We made up some "House Rules" tonight with the kids. Here they are:
  1. No hitting or kicking or hurting in any way
  2. No whining or complaining when told to do something
  3. Speak kindly, show respect
  4. Share
  5. BE NICE!

We are starting a Super Nanny type of thing where we have a chart with sunshine faces on it. Each child starts with 5 sunshines. They lose one if they misbehave. They can earn them back by doing a chore. If they have all five at the end of the week they get a small treat, probably candy. If they go for 10 weeks they get a bigger treat, like going to a movie in the theatre or buying a movie (about the same price). We'll see how this goes. Any input or house rule ideas I missed?
