[quote=Anonymous]When she comes, you present it as "house rules." So in this house, when we finish eating we take our dishes to the sink. In this house, we do not put shoes on furniture. In this house, we do not scream at people when we are upset - we go calm down and then come talk nicely. Etc. When she comes on her first day, I suggest you let her know when the next meal is, and offer to take her food shopping for foods she likes. Also, ask her to make a list of her goals for the summer. It will give you an idea of her expectations and you can see which of them you can make happen. [/quote]
