Yup-- I'm big on "discipline is a bit like a box of chocolates" with our DD. We definitely don't TELL her what a consequence WOULD be for the asking. She never quite knows what might be coming-- just that it will relate to some kind of natural consequence... and be unpleasant in (probably) direct proportion to the lesson which needs learning.

Probably.

Oh, and that mom and dad are pretty much endlessly creative and HG+ ourselves. Best not to forget that bit.
