Why Your Kids Should Learn Consequences
|

With logical consequences, it's up to you to create the outcome. For example, your child knows he or she shouldn't run in the house. The natural consequence would be that the child breaks a lamp or a vase. Or even worse, the child injures himself. Of course, the child can run through the house without any incident.
However, you see the child running through the house. It's up to you to create a logical consequence that applies such as sending the child to his room. The most important rule of thumb is that the crime fits the punishment. In other words, you want to make the two related so that your child understands why he has received that punishment. Consequences should begin at a young age. You don't want your child growing up and learning that there are no consequences for doing wrong.
