[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 148908, member: 4040"] I agree that logical consequences are the best learning opportunities for our children. Unfortunately, at least in Miss KT's case, the same consequence must occur several times before she "gets it", unless that consequence is exceptionally painful to her, like the low grades/no driving corollary. When she was younger, there was no reward great enough and no punishment great enough to control her behaviors. Now she has that blue carrot in the form of a Chevy truck...but she's still horribly rude, mean, oblivious to the pain she causes, and unable to keep friends unless they're just as anti-social as she is. I don't believe compassion for others can be taught...you either have it or you don't. [/QUOTE]
