The child must do something when they fail to carry out their responsibilities. T he end result is that your child is still required to do the work, but now they have added tasks to complete in addition to the original assignment. Your only responsibility is to insure that the child is held accountable for all of the tasks. This will be difficult at first but in the end, the results will be desirable. Behavior Contemporary Consistency D on't fall into the trap of contemporary inconsistency.
Contemporary inconsistency is a condition familiar to many parents.
They want their child to behave a certain way so they begin to threaten their child with extreme consequences. As a parent, I have fallen into the trap myself. I soon realized that the only thing consistent was my child's repeated display of inappropriate behavior. J ust one more time is one time too many. Children love to take parents to their limit.
