Miscellaneous
This, to me, is the most important guideline of all when dealing with older children. Older children have a very strong sense of self, and a clear idea of what they like or don’t like as well as what they feel is appropriate. In this sense, they’re very much like most adults. So if you want them to respond positively, you should treat them as you’d like to be treated. Don’t talk down to them or treat them with contempt, and take time and effort to explain the rules to them, as far as what purpose they serve. “Because I said so” may work with the younger children, but not with the older ones. Actually, it never was good enough for me – and it won’t be for them, either! Treat your older children with common courtesy, and expect the same from them. Mutual respect will go along way toward resolving difficulties before they occur.

that anyone who follows the three rules listed will find older children much easier to deal with. I can say that with some confidence since the older children at The Beary Patch make it plain that I’m the one they’d rather have over them, even though they still get in trouble when I’m there. But they know what to expect from me, and they know that I respect them as individuals even while I make it plain that they need to follow the rules or suffer the consequences
