[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 22970, member: 2322"] I think it is not good to punish or consequence what is not in their control. And consequences are in a sense punitive. I don't even think logical consequences necessarily have to be imposed when the child is not developmentally ready to learn the lesson from the consequence. For example (extreme, but to make the point), you wouldn't let a child get run over to teach them a lesson. You would say, they are not ready to cross the street independently and you would take their hand. At some point they are ready to get the consequence. If they don';t do homework at home, then at some point they might have to stay in for recess etc. But when consequences are nothing but punitive and reinforce the sense of failure then they don't teach much.
