This is how I work with my own children. Logical consiquences are amazing. It leaves our relationship secure, the children know & accept their actions & they are disciplined. After all, if I speed I get a speeding ticket. No officer spanks me. I pay a fine, I don't get to enjoy going out/special treat. A month without is enough to change a lead foot to a follow the speed limit foot. And I kept my dignity & my psyche in tact. I really enjoyed this post. Thank you for sharing it and I hope it opens you up to logical/natural consequences with your own family & those you mentor. I enjoyed this post. This is how I work with my own children.

I have a better relationship that any spanked child I know, and I believe that is in part because it was obvious the my problems were the direct result of my own misbehaviour, not my parents being mean. It never occured to me that as an adult I would have to *make* myself behave without my parents, because I knew screwing up was it's own punishment. The lack of real consequences (or the assumption that these can wait until adulthood, which is in sharp conflict with the idea of training up a child) has always bothered me about your magazines. It's nice to see them once in a while. This is how I was raised: with real consequences (not irrelevant spankings.)
