Esther, I am so happy you found them helpful. We went over them ever day in the beginning. Now we review them about once a week. During our oral reviews we ask them to recite whatever rules they can remember and how they are adhering to them in their life. It is interesting to see what they think of. We have them printed out and framed on the wall in the kitchen at their eye level. It is so cute to see our youngest(3) run to the rules and find the one he wants to remind the others of. Print them out and use them well friend and then pass them on to a friend:-)
