Points to Ponder by Vickie Estler
Consequences are inevitable and occur in daily life. The Bible provides great examples of Adam and Eve, the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years, and Joseph being sold by his brothers into slavery. Let your child experience the consequences without bailing him out. Experience is the best teacher. When timing is right, sit calmly with your child and ask these two questions: 
1. What did you learn from this experience?
2. How do you think the Lord wants you to change?
