Correct Natural consequences are those that occur spontaneously. For example, a
child leaves a toy outside and it is lost. Logical consequences are those
that are directly related to the misbehavior. If two children are fighting
over a toy, the toy is removed and neither child has it. Unrelated
consequences are purposely imposed; for example, the child is late for
dinner so he or she is not allowed to watch television.
Incorrect Corporal punishment is not part of this behavioral approach and usually
takes the approach of spanking the child. Corporal punishment is highly
controversial and is strongly discouraged by the American Academy of
Pediatrics. Behavior modification is another disciplinary technique that
rewards positive behavior and ignores negative behavior.
