Funny. With our 5 year old, we have stumbled onto the word “consequences.” We first used it when he lied to us about an incident at school. Ever since, all we have to do is say there will be consequences (usually no TV for a day) and he is suddenly quite remorseful.

Our 10 yr. old adopted son was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome which has affected his maturity level (he is at the 5-6 yr old level). We use the terms “bad choices” and “you are responsible for things that you choose to do”. This helps him understand that his behavior is under his control while the behavior of other people is not. This approach has worked really well for him and for us.
