for mine, we need to make rules very explicit and very consistent or he would have no respect for us. ... Action x has a predictable consequence and he gets the consequence. Further bad behavior gets additional consequence.
We do talk about what we want from him and why we are unhappy about a particular behavior, but only consequences matter to this kid.
Yup!
I'm thinking that in other families folks don't wax nostalgic about the various behavior mod instruments used over the years, but in our house we do!
Love and More Love,
