GUIDELINES FOR NATURAL CONSEQUENCES!!!

NATURAL CONSEQUENCES are those actions that happen without a parent’s intervention. However, NATURAL CONSEQUENCES are NOT appropriate if they have the potential to hurt a child in adult life—reckless driving, brushing teeth, grades, etc. NATURAL CONSEQUENCES are also not appropriate if a child is a danger to himself/herself or another child.

HOW TO GIVE A CHILD CONSEQUENCES!!!

The BEST WAYS to help a CHILD become a RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKER is through giving CONSEQUENCES and TAKING AWAY PRIVILEGES. Keep most consequences or loss of privileges brief, otherwise, a child’s spirit can be broken. Always ask, “Will this discipline help a child make a better decision next time?”

ARE YOU RATIONAL, LOGICAL, AND COOPERATIVE?

Over 40 years ago, a research study was done to determine the #1 REASON for a HAPPY MARRIAGE. The study found it was NOT intelligence, attractiveness, finances, etc. The DETERMINING POSITIVE ATTRIBUTE was being COOPERATIVE meaning RATIONAL, LOGICAL, AGREEABLE, and EASY TO GET ALONG WITH!!! Possessing these POSITIVE QUALITIES will help you get along with others and enhance your relationships!

ESTABLISH CLEARLY DEFINED RULES FOR A CHILD!

A PARENTAL RULE is an EXPECTATION that is reasonable and clearly defined yet flexible when appropriate. Setting household rules conveys love for a child and guides a child toward becoming a responsible, successful adult. Remember BODY LANGUAGE, FACIAL EXPRESSION, and TONE OF VOICE are essential when sharing a rule or expectation.

ESTABLISH LOVING RULES FOR A CHILD!!!

God gave the 10 COMMANDMENTS as GUIDING PRINCIPLES for life! Rules are everywhere, in society, the workplace, school, and yes, even in a LOVING HOME. Parental RULES provide HEALTHY LIMITS, but at the same time GUARANTEE FREEDOM because acceptable behavior is defined.
