Consequences

-This week we have been talking about consequences

-Consequences are the good and bad things that happen because of something that you do

-Pretend that you need to tell someone else how to handle it when they get in trouble

-What would you tell them to do or not to do?

"Don't do it again because you might get in more trouble."

"Learn from your mistakes."
"You should not do that again or you may get in more trouble."

"Show respect to elders and don't talk back again."
"Accept the consequences."
"Listen to the adult and what they said."
"If you accidentally hurt someone and they are crying you should apologize."
