CONSEQUENCES
Offer an opportunity
for students to be
involved in the
decision-making.
Student has no
opportunity to
displace their anger
or hurting.
Student has
opportunity to
develop a new plan
of reacting or acting.
Educator makes the
decisions.
Educator provides
opportunity for the
student to be angry
and resentful rather
than working toward
a solution.
Student pays for
their past deed.
19. The next time a student does
something inappropriate,
experiment with saying, Oh no.
This is so sad. I'm going to have to
do something about this! but not
now...later. Try not to worry about
it.
An Anticipatory consequence allows you time
to anticipate whose support you might need,
how the child might try to react, and how to
make sure you can actually follow through with
a logical consequence. This technique also
allows the child to anticipate or worry about a
wide array of possible consequences.
This technique gains power from this basic
principle of conditioning. When one stimulus
consistently predicts a second, the first stimulus
gains the same emotional properties as the
second. Stated simply: When try not to worry
about it consistently predicts something the
student really must worry about, Try not to
worry about it becomes a consequence in and
of itself...an anticipatory consequence.
Take care of yourself, and give yourself a break!
