As I was thinking about what question would beneficial to answer today on M*, I realized I had just answered questions this morning on television which might be of interest to M* readers. Today my husband and I had a great day with Debbie and Ron on The KJZZ morning show hosted by KUTV2 news station. I hope these video clips will be interesting and useful to you and your family. Today’s topic was consequences and how to choose them. Remember, “Home should be the safest place to make mistakes.” (Parenting A House United)

Nicholeen, I will look at this clips sometime this weekend and give you some feedback. Thanks for all you do.
Nicholeen, I really liked your advice. Luckily, my wife and I are following your advice for the most part. One of the keys is positive consequences.
With our older kids, we have a chart with responsibilities and activities for every week. If they do what they are supposed to do, they get points, which can be converted into positive consequences (see a movie, go to a water park with their friends, etc). If they don’t do what they’re supposed to do, they get points taken away.
I liked the interview although I wish the hosts had allowed you to talk more in the first segment.
