#11: There Are Consequences to Your Actions
When it comes to children understanding the consequences of their actions, the main way of helping them to do that is through communication. Many people believe that in order to discipline your children, you need to incorporate punishment, but that isn’t the case.
Through trial and error, children begin to understand that their actions have consequences and that they always have the ability to make choices. When parents communicate the poor choices, their children make when it comes to behavior, they have a greater ability to understand how to change their behavior than through harsh punishment.
