Consequences That Teach Better Behavior (Instead of Punish)

It can be difficult to think of effective consequences that actually teach BETTER BEHAVIOR than simply punish a child for a discipline problem! But after teaching 28 years, I have come up with quite a few ideas that I have tucked away in my bag of discipline tricks, and I am excited to share them with you today! These are all (well, mostly!) positive consequences that I have used successfully in Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. And now since we are a PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports) school, it will be handy to have a fresh look at this list. I hope that it's helpful to you, too!
