[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][/quote]

Sometimes it takes more than once. But the point of the public reprimand is that it's a bit embarrassing. It can be very effective with kids who show off by acting out, or kids who are riled up. It totally kills the mood and makes the kid look bad in front of peers. It isn't the right consequence for kids who have other motivations. [/quote]
