I taught preschool for years. We had classroom rules that there were consequences for not following. It was well known to all of them that when we were on trips, we were in another space and had to adhere to the rules of that space! We would practice behaviors when necessary. ALL of my kids were teachable, and all enjoyed going on outings and having people think they were older than they were because they were so well behaved!
Children crave rules because it creates order and predictability!...then these children from no rule households lack consequential thinking and wonder why they get fired from their jobs: it is horrible! And the kids from homes with rules miss out on learning in school because teachers have to attend to these problem kids!
(To be clear...I adore children. When I say problem kids, I mean behaviorally...as a result of parents not respecting them enough to correct/teach them what is appropriate.)
