how do i or can i teach consequences

[Oorki Galoorki]

as the title says how do i teach DS about concequences??
or can you not and its more about showing them?

DS broke something of value today that we have told him before not to go near(this is usually enough) so i have taken his newly aquired service station...
i spoke that i was taking it because it was special to him and he broke something special of ours.....
but i dont feel this is the right way to go about it. but im not sure how else o do it??

Hi doudou, I think it is great that you wnat to teach DS about consequences. Befor I suggest anyways that you can do this, how old is your son?

i would suggest time out?? simply a chair in the hallway (away from everyone) where he has to sit for 3 minutes (3 years old...) and if he gets up then it starts again. tho mayb that for next time as i think that would be abit late now.

When my neice was this sage (now 7) she done some things simular to this. I used to sit her down and i would get quite upset saying how much i loved the object (so i would make her feel real guilty) etc and she would give me a hug and say sorry. She never did it again.. i still do it with her now.
