Do you let them know?

When you go out in public, or even at home, really, do you voice your expectations to your children? For instance, when we are going to the store, especially if my girls are having an "off day", we have a little talk and I let them know how I expect them to act and what I expect them to do. It just reinforces them and gives them a goal, something to make them work for in making you proud.

 Yes, I think it helps them know what the expectations are before they get into a situation.
