Natural and logical consequences date back to Haim Ginott in the sixties

...his wisdom is shared from decades of studying children's thinking and behaving.  Parents and teachers seeking need a basic, simple, and effective principle for developing children's capacity to make informed choices habitually.  Natural and logical consequences evokes a child's ability to think and choose.


Haim Ginott is a classic in the field of child psychology.  His guidance flows from what is currently today best practices from wide knowledge bases: child development, attachment theory, self-efficacy, and neuropsychology.  The principle of natural and logical consequences operates in the home and classroom as simply and effectivly as that basic invention, the wheel!

The wheel works across time, because it fits reality. It's organic, it flows from reality. The same is true of  natural consequences, which evolve into use of logical consequences. Better than coddling, excusing, overlooking, or pretending with kids. "Reality therapy" is what Haim Ginott called this application of his life's work with kids. He encouraged parents and teachers to use reality therapy with kids at home and in school. If we all followed his advice consistently, we might have been able to purchase condos on the moon by now!

Just the same, I am glad newbies are digging the oldies but goodies ... strategies that work here and now because they make sense...did then, do now! Take a look at Rules in School.
