Using Real World Logic
Is this consequence going to have the same implications for the child as it would if an adult behaved this way?
Examples:
Child yelling at parents
Child not doing work
Slide15
Your relationship with your child gives the consequence power
Relationship = Foundation
for discipline
Take an interest- remember why you love them
Forgive yourself and forgive you child
It is not being permissive to back off and restore the relationship.
Do we as adults respond better to people who take an interest in us?
How do you feel when you anger someone who doesn’t like you?
