Monday’s Parenting Thought
Are natural consequences a good way to discipline a child?
A child gets up late, so he misses the bus and has to walk to school. This is a natural consequence for the child’s behavior. It is a very good way for kids to learn a lesson.
CAUTIONS:
-
Do not use natural consequences when they are not safe.
For example, if the child could get hurt walking to school.
-
Do not use natural consequences when they are too hard on the child
