What do you think? What are the pros and cons of all-girl or all-boy families?

Preschoolers Most children aged 3-4 years have the language skills to understand simple rules.
But at this age, children are likely to forget or ignore rules. They’ll need support and reminders to follow your family rules. For example, ‘Remember, we sit down to eat’.
And when it comes to safety, rules are important, but it’s best not to rely on them to keep children safe. For example, your rule might be ‘Stay away from the road’, but you still need to always watch your child near roads.
School-age children All children are different, but children might be 8-10 years old before you can start relying on them to follow rules without your help in most situations. For example, children of this age will probably remember rules about brushing teeth before bed or waiting for an adult before crossing the road.
Teenagers Rules are just as important for teenagers as they are for younger children. Clear rules give teenagers a sense of security at a time in their lives when a lot of other things are changing. It’s never too late to create or reinforce rules for teenagers.
Rules about safe behaviour are especially important. These might include rules about alcohol use, sex, dating and curfews. Some families negotiate and sign safety contracts. A safety contract is a signed agreement that outlines the rules – for example, ‘I will text you when I use public transport at night’. But you can expect some challenges to the rules at this age, as teenagers look for more autonomy and independence.
