i found this interesting. i am still trying to digest it. i teach logical consequences in a parenting class and never saw them as a negative. one of the techniques i teach is the ACT rule as well and i saw many of the components of it on the list. i actually saw many of the things i teach on the list which made me feel good. but most of what is on this list is stuff to discourage negative behaviors from happening in the first place. stuff to calm a child before they act out and let them know what expectations are for positive behavior. it doesnt really seem to address anything to prevent negative behaviors from happening again which logical consequences are designed to do. they are designed to give children a choice. continue to behave the negative way then you are choosing for this to happen to you. for example, you throw your toys around, they will be put up. if you can play with your toys appropriately, you will get to keep them.

im going to share the article with the other parenting instructor and see what she thinks.
