So my daughter is learning about the constitution and how a bill becomes a law. She has recently taken her studies and implemented them at home. My daughter came to me the other day asking me to sign her "Room Constitution," to be followed by her and our guests. All in all, it looks like a great idea, with her committing to getting her chores and work done before playtime. I'm just wondering what kind of "defenses" she's looking to employ? I really hope she's not looking to empower any nuclear options.

Honestly, I'm thinking this contract thing is a great idea. I'm gonna have to put this into effect with some other things. According to Dr. Henry Brandt, the "family contract" can be a great tool and touts its effectiveness. However, he does believe that their successes and failures can rest in the details. Because of this, he has developed a set of guidelines.

- Precise Wording

- Clear Rewards and Consequences

- Bonus Clause

- Child & Parent as Co-Creators

- Re-Negotiation

- Signatures

- Inspect What you Expect
