[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically a natural consequence for him is being late.[/quote] Sorry, this is a natural consequence of YOUR behavior, not his. Get your kid to practice on time or don't bother. It's not fair to your kid, the coach, or the other players.[/quote] He's 10, not 3. The boy is old enough to experience this natural consequence himself. It absolutely is a consequence of his own behavior, and hopefully now he knows it. OP did a good job of teaching her son that he is responsible for his own actions. If you have a kid that needs to be nagged and reminded of every step he needs to take to get out the door, especially at age 10, he needs a lesson that will really drive the point home: I am CAPABLE of getting ready on my own. In the end, being late and embarrassed once or twice is going to feel better than being nagged and nudged by your parents for the rest of his life. [/quote]
