I love the idea, and I think it is a vital skill for a child to learn. But I do think the key word there is learn.

6yo seems a bit young to me to expect kids to self-advocate effectively. I'm 100% in favor of making moves in that direction, but that's too much pressure to put on a child so young, IM(not so)HO.

I'm a big fan of natural consequences at any age though. I think that's just good parenting. wink
