April 24, 2009, Newsletter Issue #204: Effective Use of Consequences

Tip of the Week

When natural consequences donīt seem to work for your child itīs probably because the "consequence" is not important. For example, if you tell your adolescent, "I wonīt wash any of your clothes that arenīt in the clothes hamper," will not work effectively for a child who doesnīt care whether he wears clean or dirty clothes. Use whatever your child nags you about (staying up later, for example) to your advantage.
