[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re part of the problem OP if you’re not correcting their behavior. [/quote]

Maybe reread the part where it talks about repeatedly correcting the behavior. [/quote]

That’s not a consequence though. It would be like a cop telling you repeatedly to stop speeding. The ticket is the consequence that ends the behavior.

In this example, I would’ve taken the child home and ended the fun with friends. [/quote]

[b]I think being reprimanded in front of friends is a consequence. [/b]Because it's unpleasant. Or if it delays any more fun activity.

If it doesn't change the undesired behavior (and prevent it in the future), it isn't the right consequence.[/quote]

No, it's a starter consequence and if it doesn't work, you move up the ladder of consequences. But it has the benefit of being not nothing, and allows you to re-teach the expectation. Some kids need more repetition to learn.[/quote]
