I prefer ‘rules’ in positive language. Why say “Don’t Run!” when you really mean, “please walk”. In fact, saying “please walk” would encompass no cartwheels in the hall as well, which is what I encountered this afternoon as a six year old was leaving school with her mom.

Why not put the best spin on things possible? (Pun intended).
Yes, exactly write. It helps the re-direction too, to say an action wanted rather than just stopping something. I love the cartwheel though. She must have just learned how to do it easily.
