[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is 4.5 and [b]her kid is 5[/b]. We, the parents, were involved because we were going on a big outing.[/quote] So, wait, what did a 5yo do that merits cancelling a big outing? Does a child that age even connect doing "bad" behavior now with the consequence of cancelling a future outing? Mine certainly wouldn't have. Most of the parenting guidance I've seen for that age says to make a consequence immediate (eg not finishing the activity currently under way), rather than applying it to something coming up.
