I guess that the best approach is to be very tactical while creating rules - let the kids propose the rules, talk with them, make sure that you respect the rules too (if you can!), etc. : )

Are you sure? Do you think that kids would be able to propose rules to limit themselves? Ok, maybe I am not giving them enough credit. I just always keep thinking of my two little hyperactive and misbehaving cousins that no one wants to babysit anymore since they are just driving everyone crazy xD
:D :D
Psychologists clam that it's important to get kids involved in rules-making, although, of course, as a more experienced negotiator, parents can use arguments and explanations to make sure that the final rules are approximately what they had in mind prior to the discussion. : )
Hmm, I'll try to discuss it with my cousins then but if I end up tied up and stored in a closet, then I know who to blame :D
:D Good luck : )
