Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up rules and responsibilities. Second graders often think any good behavior is a rule, when a responsibility is a job they are expected to do on their own without being told.
• Believing rules are only about punishment. Many seven and eight year olds focus on getting in trouble rather than understanding that rules keep people safe and make things fair.
• Forgetting that home and community have rules too. Students sometimes think rules only apply at school and miss everyday examples like seatbelts, sidewalks, and taking turns at the park.
