[QUOTE="Andy, post: 189385, member: 5096"] I think I understand where you are going with the punishment insight. When the focus is always on the consequence, the need may not be being met. Along with the consequences must come learning and we can not teach the lesson if we do not have the right materials. The materials will be the "why". When the answer is, "I don't know", then, "Well, this is the consequence and we need to figure out what made you do this so you can prevent it from happening again." If the answer is, "I can't help myself" than that needs to be addressed. So, let the consequences fall where it may but be sure to get the entire story - all view points - to figure out the proper consequence and make it a learning situation whenever possible. [/QUOTE]
