Giving consequences that work can be tricky. Frequently when giving a consequence, parents tend to go to the extreme, which leaves parents nowhere to go if it doesn't work.
A consequence aims to teach our child. Consequences are not punishments. When giving a consequence, parents should ask themselves, "What is the least amount of consequence to get my child to stop the negative behavior?"
Consequences must meet the five components of Effective Negative Consequences.
First, the consequence needs to be immediate and should happen as soon as possible after the negative behavior.
Second, it needs to match the inappropriate behavior.
Third, you need to be able to follow through with consequences every time the negative behavior happens.
Fourth, you shouldn't give the same consequence for all negative behavior.
Fifth, the consequence should mean something to your child. If the consequence doesn't mean something to your child, they have no motivation to stop their negative behavior.
