  • The biggest problem with authoritarian parental discipline is that it does not provide space for the child to learn from natural consequences. Often authoritarian discipline prevents the child from learning through mistakes. As a result, later as a teenager he/she may rebel, making it more difficult to keep him/her safe. If, for example, Johnny drinks and drives, then natural consequences are losing his car privileges for a while until he can demonstrate that he/she will be responsible. He/she may also give you ideas for natural consequences for drinking. Natural consequences, providing the teen with a way to ¡§redeem¡¨ him/herself with trust, is a wonderful way parents can teach teens to be mature. With natural consequences, dialogue is needed to problem-solve and to determine what actions should be taken to remedy the act. A spirited dialogue with the parents and teen through open communication shows the child that, although he/she does not have final say, he/she at the very least plays an important part in the act of considering the consequences. Parents want to be sure that they allow their teens the opportunity to gain their trust back without impossible consequences.
•  I believe that if we are teaching our children problem-solving skills and how to think critically, they will know how to make good decisions when they are adults. We need to teaching them respect for rules as well as respect for others by being respectful in our contact with them. If we teach them these skills we will open for them the door to create a child that will be experienced problem solver, where natural consequences, and critical thinking will be a gift they can use the rest of their life.

Live the room and ignore them, unless they can hurt themselves.   They don’t like to throw a fit if they have no audience.
