Sometimes the best form of discipline is to let the child experience the consequences of his or her action. Experience really is the best teacher. Natural and logical consequences are effective ways to intervene while maintaining respect for the child's ability to make decisions. Consequences rely to some degree on the natural order of life itself to teach lessons about the world. In some instances you might have to arrange for a consequence to happen.
Natural consequences are things that happen in response to a behavior.
No one has to make these things happen. For example when a child does not eat his dinner, he will get very hungry before he goes to bed. Sometimes a natural consequence is the result of human nature. The child who hits his friends will lose playmates. A disadvantage of relying on natural consequences is that sometimes they take a long time to work.
