When I work with the youngest groups (PreK 4s- kinders), I simplify the rules: 1. Do not hurt myself. 2. Do not hurt others. 3. Do not hurt things. Every child seems to be able to identify what it means to hurt, although they may have no idea what it means to respect. With my older students, I remind them of the rules, but we expand the word "hurt" to includes respect, and we discuss age-appropriate examples.
