Discussion Post Replies to the Four Peers Reply to Nalisha: Nalisha, I appreciated your suggestions about redirection and providing choices to implement logical consequences. This allows children to feel a sense of autonomy while still guiding them to make appropriate decisions. You made an insightful point that logical consequences should stem directly from the child's behavior. This helps reinforce the connection between actions and their effects. Your perspective aligns closely with the textbook's discussion of using consequences to promote children's self-regulation abilities. Tailoring the response to the behavior and framing it as a learning opportunity encourages the development of inner controls. In your experience, have you found particular consequences especially effective for certain challenging behaviors common in the age groups you work with?
