I think you're right, there's not much you can do about their home behaviour, and although it's not a bad idea to talk to parents about this, there isn't anything they can do about the kid's behaviour while in your care. You might just say you are looking for ideas about how to get them to follow rules. I like the idea of the rules board. I might actually try that too. Visiting the board several times in the day might help reinforce them.
