Consequences are the second part of your firm limit setting message.
COMPONENTS OF EFFECTIVE
CONSEQUENCES
Relatedness – Must be logically related to the behavior. Usually adults apply the same consequence for
different misbehaviors.
Respect – Consequences must be delivered without attacking,
insulting or humiliating the child.
Clean Slates – Once the consequence has been applied, resist the urge to keep reminding the child of the past offense. They now have more information and fresh opportunities to learn.
