As for power struggles, I don't think anyone comes out the winner in most of those situations. I confess to having these when my children were young and once I learned not to engage in the power struggles, life was much easier.

It gives them the ability to take responsibility for their own behaviors, even if they are not at the developmental level to understand the concept. I believe that there are so many children that come from homes where there is such a lack of consistency going on that they feed off of "power struggles" inScottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472287208924187505.post-24809924288637603262012-03-02T15:58:04.926-05:002012-03-02T15:58:04.926-05:00@Prudy Jo You are so right!

If someone writes a bad check, there will definitely be negative consequences. If people work hard at their job, they will get a paycheck which is a positive consequence. Which would they rather do more often? (Hopefully the positive consequences will yield more results.)

If my students do well on their school work, try hard, or give a nice complement to others they receive a sticker on their chart. <br /><br />I try to focus on the positive consequences of an action. I do however have negative consequencesPrudy Jo's Technology SpEd Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100581939459861706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472287208924187505.post-46181565825978346762012-03-02T05:34:47.731-05:002012-03-02T05:34:47.731-05:00@Alex/Perfecting Dad Thanks so much for your comme...@Alex/Perfecting Dad Thanks so much for your comments.

As a teacher, you give those all the time anyway -- it's called feedback. If the child never got feedback then the child would never learn. It is totally natural. Punishment is a psychological term and one of the most highly valuable methods of teaching, it's just a stimulus that the child doesn't want.<br Alex | Perfecting Dadhttp://www.perfectingparenthood.comnoreply@blogger.com
