Contracts- Contracts are not one-way
- There is something in the contract for both parties
- Contract is made adult to adult – contracting when either party is feeling emotional doesn’t work
- The contract is equitable – mutual win if the contract is kept and mutual loss if the contract is broken
- The contract is simple but not too simple
- Breaking the contract is stated in terms of consequences not punishment
- It is written down
- It can be renegotiated – if it is not working it could be because people or situations have changed
