[quote=Anonymous]When my now tweens were little, I learned about natural consequences. Kids don’t understand when a punishment is so far removed in time or totally unrelated to the offense. Like if kid is in trouble because he purposefully broke a golf club, or damaged golf course property etc, then I could see how the consequence is not being allowed to play golf. But barring that, I’m betting there is a much more effective punishment for whatever it is that the kid did, rather than bailing on a prior commitment and leaving friends without plans. [/quote]
