[quote=Anonymous]OP, here is an example. Say your daughter gets in a similar argument type inappropriate thing with a kid at school, like the one you described. And you want to give an consequence. Okay. So here are some ideas.

A) Ground her. No opportunity to repair relationship, no opportunity to practice social skills. Lots of opportunity to sit home and ruminate in anxiety.

B) Written apology note. This teaches a social skill, may help repair the relationship, and is a chance to review what went wrong and identify better ways to react.

C) Discuss incident with teacher or counselor and make a plan for how to behave in that kind of situation.

D) Role play with a parent or teacher how to behave in that situation, plus do a chore as a consequence.

Can't you see that these are all consequences, which are unpleasant to DD and will have deterrent effect, but consequence A doesn't teach any skills and hinders her socially? You need to choose your consequences more strategically.[/quote]
