[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 57280, member: 1991"] Dixie, we do what works. If this is working for you, then fabulous. It IS what a lot of us aim for. With anything like this, we need to think - how do I achieve what I want, in getting this message through that thick skull? There are times when consequences achieve absolutely nothing, or send us backward. We also have to weigh up any problems caused by apparent lack of consequences. We also have to choose some sort of response which is going to help us have some sort of positive outcome, at least in helping prevent recurrences. We often have to walk a tightrope between consequencing EVERYTHING, or letting them get away with total anarchy. The rule of thumb for us has become - "are we achieving anything by taking this response?" And this will definitely vary from child to child and from time to time. These kids really keep you thinking fast on your feet! Marg [/QUOTE]
