Need some help with this one. Ok, so there are obvious natural consequences to some behaviour, eg if you don't wear a coat you get cold, if you don't eat your dinner you'll be hungry, but what about when the natural consequences affect me rather than my dcs? Like, if they fanny about in the morning it makes ME late, or if they damage things I have to pay for them (they don't get pocket money yet)? They are 5 and nearly 8 and I feel like I am losing their respect because they just don't care about my approval any more. I am generous with my time for them so I don't think it is that. Any advice?
