[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 147200, member: 1514"] I just disagree with Allen on this subject. Consequences do keep people from doing negative things. If we touch the stove when we know its hot and it burns us...well that is a negative consequence that we learn we dont want to repeat. We know or are told that if you drive recklessly that you could well get stopped by the cops and receive a ticket. You have the choice of understanding that and driving correctly or driving the way you want and getting a ticket. Most things in life have a consequence...good or bad...to them. If you go to work and do your job well, you are kept on in the job and paid. If you dont do your work you get fired. There are many actions that a person may want to do but they know they are illegal and could land them in hot water so they dont do them. I would love to go to the grocery store and just walk out without paying for my items but its illegal and I would go to jail. Since I dont want to go to jail, I pay for my items. If we dont teach the negative consequences of actions to our kids then they will hit the adult world without understanding how things work. No one else cares if they understand or learn empathy for the person they are acting out against...they do a crime or say something ugly and they will reap the consequences. The real world isnt going to coddle them or try to compromise with them. Rules are rules. [/QUOTE]
