Discipline: Consequences, Privileges & Redemption. Discipline is to train, not to punish. Use consequences to curb behaviors you’d like to see less of, and privileges to encourage the behaviors you’d like to see more of. Redemption is a wonderful way to model God’s grace, and to reward contrition and repentance. Consequences can be as simple as ‘timeout’, the temporary or permanent loss of an item or privilege, or an extra chore. Privileges can include all sorts of extras like getting to stay up later, have an outing, spend special time with a parent or other family member (like going to Gramma’s -- wink, wink) or a longed for item. Redemption is your response to contrition or repentance. Rather than assigning an extra chore, a better way is to have the child do something for another. It can be as simple as getting a glass of water for a sibling in a very young child, to mitzvah’s and servanthood in an older one.
