[quote=Anonymous]It is always easiest if you have consequences already spelled out, so nothing is a surprise. If they don't accept the "first level" consequence, then move to the "second level" consequence. I would allow a little bit of time for the child to calm down and think about the consequence before imposing the next level, and if you can leave the room so the child can save face, that might help. If you are both upset, tell them you will discuss it in fifteen minutes, and stick to it. I agree that nothing else happens until the child goes to their room, if that was the direction. Always follow through with the original direction, or don't give it. Second level can include early bedtime, no electronics, extra chores, whatever. Sit down and have a meeting about it when everyone is calm and serve ice cream to keep a positive tone about "growing up guidelines." [/quote]
