found out that a natural consequence is on that life would give you like if you go out in the rain you might get wet or if you don't do your homework then you will get a bad grade. A logical consequece is one that the parent's set like if you don't clean up your toys, I will take them away for awhile or if you are mean to your sisiter you will have to hold her hand for 5 minutes. I think consequences can affect children's self esteem in a negative way if all thier consequences are negative. You should try to make some of their consequences positive. Children enjoy attention wheter its positive or negative so if parents make logical consequences positive, maybe thier child will have less negative behavior.
ReplyDeleteNatural consequences are things that might happen if children don't do something an adult asks them to do. Many times children figure natural consequences on their own and later they make better choices, for example; when it's cold outside and they don't want to wear a coat they might get a cold and after they realize that if they get sick they can't do the things they enjoy or go to school or other activities. They can become more aware and will remember what happened last time they did not wear a coat when it was cold. Same with doing homework and getting bad grades, children feel the consequences and they don't like that bad feelings so they choose to make a good decision if an responsible adult helps them understand why it is important to perform such activities in order to avoid undesirable consequences.
ReplyDeleteLogical consequences are the ones that parents have created so children learn to choose a good behavior or a good decision, there are positive and negative logical consequences. Positive consequences are when for example children did not clean their toys and these toys have to be put away,and negative consequences are when an adult provides good reinforces if the activity or request is completed, for example; if a child finishes his or her homework fast and makes it in a good way the adult will offer extra time to play or go do something that the child enjoys so children get more motivated and perform better. As adults is better to use positive logical consequences because it is more beneficial for the child and less frustrating for the adult. Also we need to remember that we have to provide consequences that are related with the behavior and at the same time that that behavior has occurred, we can not make a consequence for something that happened long time ago or give a big consequence for something that has not been too important for the adult and the child.
Logical and natural consequences can affect children self-esteem, resilience and stress in many ways. Natural consequences if perform correctly without damaging or putting children in danger can help by increasing their self-esteem and the ability to make their own decisions and be responsible for them, they will learn how to overcome a problem and become more independent. Logical consequences need to be fair and positive so the child can learn how to deal with such consequence and become more resilience, also when using positive consequences we reduce the stress between the child and the adult by respect and they will trust the adult knowing that they won't do any harm to the child, they will have a better communication and will be able to deal with problems and come to better solutions in the future.
A Logical consequence is what parents create like if you don't clean up your own room then i will not let you go outside for the rest of the day and or if you are mean to your sister, you will have to hold her hand for five mins. Natural consequences are things that just might happen if the child don't do something an adult ask them to do. for example if you don't your homework you will get a bad grade and or if you don't wear a coat you might get cold or even catch something. you should try to make some of their consequences positive not always negative. I think the negative consequence can affect their self-esteem,resilience and stress. Children should enjoy attention rather its positive or negative, so parents should be more (+) positive logical consequence to their child and less negative behavior.
ReplyDeleteA natural consequence is one that just might happen, rather than being brought upon intentionally by a parent, a a logical consequence is. Examples include, "if you go out in the rain, you're going to get wet." "If you do not eat dinner, you are going to be hungry tonight." "If you go out into the cold with no jacket, you are going to be very chilly." For parents, it is important to state a warning to the child, letting them know what consequence is going to follow. In doing this, though, it is also important to let the consequence happen to the child if the child refuses to put on a jacket, or eat, for example. This tactic does not typically work on children under age three a half. In allowing the consequence to happen to the child, the child is experiencing for himself what happens, rather than just being told. A child has a much better tendency to put on a jacket or eat dinner when an experience in the past led to an unpleasant natural consequence.
ReplyDeleteLogical consequences, on the other hand, are brought upon by a parent or caregiver. Typically logical consequences consist of "if, then" statements. For example, "If you do not pick up your toys, then you cannot play outside this afternoon." This is a negative logical consequence. An example of a positive logical consequence could be, "if you pick up these toys now, then you will have extra time to play later." In creating a logical consequence, it is important to have it relate to the child's behavior. Not letting a child go outside to play for two weeks because he accidentally spilled just on the carpet is negative and inappropriate. It is also important to have a child's punishment be immediate, not something in the future. Keep the logical consequence on topic with what brought the consequence about. If a parent says unrealistic things to make a big impact, the child will figure out the parent does not follow through with the things they say.
I learned from the the podcast that there is a difference in logical and natural consequences. Logical consequences seem to be more common sense. It tends to go along with the "if","then" statements. If a certain act is administered, then there will be a specific outcome. And the natural conseques are pretty similar except that there is nothing that can be done to prevent the final outcome other than by choosing not to do a certain act. T- Chart onConsequences shows the different examples of the two.
ReplyDeleteNatural Consequences
If you go out in the rain you get wet.
If you don’t wear a coat you might be cold
If you don’t do your homework you might get a bad grade
Logical Consequences
If you don’t get the toys cleaned up then I am putting them away(negative)
If you clean up the toys quickly then you have more time to play (positive)
They can both effect self esteem, relsilience, and stress in many ways. self esteem is effected because just by being able to make good decisions about things could make a child feel more confiden and could allow their self esteem to be heightened. Resilience could be improved because it helps the children to be more independent and learn the right ways of doing things without the help or instructions from an adult figure. And stress is always a factor because when a child can't seem to be able to figure something out it can always be stressful as well as a child feeling like they always have to do as they are told and are not allowed to learn about decision making becuase of an authautiarian adult in charge.
Natural Consequences:
ReplyDeleteIf you don't put a jacket on you will be cold.
If you jump on that you will hurt yourself.
Logical Consequences:
If you don't stop fighting you won't be able to play with those toys
If you clean up your toys we can do something fun.
They can effect self esteem and resilience by giving the child the option to make a good decision. Resilience could be improved because the children then get the point to be more independant and solve problems on their own.
Two examples of a natural consequences are if you don't do your homework, you will get a bad grade and if you go outside in the cold without your coat you will get cold. With natural consequences life is the bad guy. Things occur naturally without us creating them.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, logical consequences are those consequences that we create. These consequences should be related to the childs behavior and can be positive or negative. Two examples of logical consequences are if you and your sister do not stop fighting you will have to go to separate rooms and if you do not clean up your room, you will not be able to go over to your friend's house to play this afternoon.
I think consequences can effect self-esteem, reslience and stress positively. Children learn from consequences and will hopefully make better decisions when they learn from the experience.
natural consequences are those that happen "naturally." an example would be "if you play with fire, you will get burned", "if you dont brush your teeth, you will get cavities" .
ReplyDeleteLogical Consequences are given by the parent or caregiver. they can be either negative or positive. an example is "if you dont clean your room, you cant watch tv for a week", "if you dont do your homework, you cant go play at your friends house". i think that it is important that when giving these type of consequences to follow through with them. many parents will simply say them and then not follow through with them.

ReplyDeleteI believe that Natural and Logical consequences effects self- esteem and resilience. The consequences can be negative and positive; it just depends on the individual. It does not matter if it is an adult or two years old, we all have to deal with consequences or so call “rewards” regarding the decisions we make. Our parents taught us at an early age, to make good decisions because we all know what is right or wrong. But as we get older our behavior as well as thoughts tends to change. I think of the saying “Test the water” regarding these factors. For example, I know I did things when I was younger, that I know I wasn’t supposed to do. As humans we make our own decisions, whether they will affect us in a bad or good way.
ReplyDeleteExamples of both :
Natural Consequences:
If you don’t wear a coat when it’s raining, you will be wet.
If you don’t wear you glasses, you will not be able to see
Logical Consequences:
If you don’t eat your vegetables ,you will not have desert
If you don’t do make good grades , you will be have a punishment
