Many parents give a consequence expecting it will stop the behavior and are surprised when it doesn't.
Giving an effective consequence isn't easy. In fact, for a consequence to work, it needs to include five key elements: Immediacy, Size, Frequency, Importance, and Varied.
The best way to teach a child isn't through consequences. Because consequences focus on the negative, they can damage your relationships with your child and cause them to have issues with self-esteem and self-doubt. The best way to get a child to create lasting change is through rewards.
Rewards give a child power and encouragement to change because it focuses on what they will receive. Rewards build relationships and set your child up for success.
