While a rule for everything is tempting, you will need to have a limited list of house rules. Deciding on what rules to have starts with being clear on what you want the priorities to be in your family.
Many of our family house rules are based on what the common sticking points and areas of conflict in our family. Taking these into account will help ensure that your family rules will help decrease the amount of stress, family conflict, sibling issues (and maybe even yelling) in your home.
Be sure you aren’t only taking into account the tasks type issues you want to address. Also take into account the behavior problems you and your kids struggle with. These could be fighting between siblings, areas of disobedience, or a general attitude problem that can be a source of stress.
This is something that is a common issue in families. So many of the conflicts in our family can stem from a general lack of behaving with basic manners. Take the manners you value into account when creating your rules.
Our family settled on 25 house rules, but we do also have a super large family of nine kids. Maybe 25 would be way too many for your family. If your list starts off long, be sure to shorten it to make it something your family can actually live with and make a part of everyday life.
Once you have created them, be sure to print them off. I included an awesome template you can print off and fill in your own rules. Again, don’t feel like you need to fill up every line. Your list of house rules should in a large part be reflective of the amount of people in your family.

Having house rules for your family are an essential way to make sure that everyone is on the same page, expectations are clear, and conflict can be diminished. These basic ideas are a great way for yo...
Learn how to establish clear expectations and reduce stress in your home with these 25 basic house rules for families. Download a free printable template and get tips for creating your own family rules.
- Knock on Closed Doors Before Entering. This is a pretty basic rule, but important nonetheless. It’s more about instilling the importance of respecting one’s privacy and personal space.
- Limiting Screen Time to an Hour a Day. This is one house rule for kids that you probably know you should enforce… yet often don’t. Why? Because it’s so much easier to keep the kids occupied with screen time when you’re busy, then have them bother you every few minutes with trivial things.
- Pick up After Yourself. This rule is one that won’t just help your child, but make your life a little easier as well. I must vacuum or sweep at least four times each day.
- Make Amends When You Hurt Someone. The art of saying “I’m sorry” is not an easy one for children to master… especially when they don’t think they’ve done anything wrong.
