[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 152907"] I recall there was a book called Logical Consequences that was good about teaching parents to help their children accept responsibility for their actions. There is absolutely no guarantees with these things, but I do believe that strongly re-enforcing that there are consequences to behavior might help many children. It's been many years, but I think the idea was to make sure that negative behavior resulted in negative consequences, but to also make sure there was "logic" and appropriateness to the consequences. I think if I had to do it again, I would be better at also reinforcing positive behavior as well. I do believe it is very frustrating when some children take an excessively long period of time to figure these things out and they do this from day one and throughout their youth. One thing might do well to teach our young people...that although a person can always make a decision to change for the better, essentially "we are our choices." [/QUOTE]
