How Rules Can Give Children More Freedom

Consistency doesn’t have to stifle children’s creativity. Discover routines and games that combine a sense of security with room to try new things.

When children know what to expect, they don’t have to focus all their attention on what comes next. That leaves them more room to make choices, ask questions and come up with ideas of their own.
