  • De-escalation Series: Natural, Logical, and Teaching Consequences after a Crises – 1 Hour December 15, 2026

    Price: 15.00 USD

    We should always process after a crisis so that both the child and the caregivers can learn from what just happened and how to keep a crisis from happening – or getting so big – in the future. Sometimes, it is appropriate to use natural, logical, and teaching consequences (NOT PUNISHMENT) afterwards to help set patterns of behavior and to repair relationships. This webinar will explore which of these types of consequences may be helpful.
