⚫️ Natural vs. Logical Consequences

⏳ Every choice comes with a consequence. Helping your teen see the lessons life gives naturally, and the lessons you guide intentionally, supports growth and responsibility.

🌱 Natural Consequences: happens on its own (i.e. forgets their homework, bad grade or forgets to do laundry, no clean clothes).

Letting your teen experience these consequences helps them learn responsibility naturally.

🤔 Logical Consequences: parent created, but connected and intentional.

Example: "Because your grade is low, you’ll set aside time each day this week to complete missing assignments and review class material."

Below is a list of 3 R's that can be used to help implement logical consequences.

Navigating consequences at home can be complicated — this post is meant as a simple guide to help throughout the week. Reach out and schedule an appointment, we can work through these strategies together.

Before you implement a consequence, pause and ask:
❓ What lesson am I trying to teach?

☑️ Are you teaching:
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Self-control
- Problem-solving
- Repair after harm

❎ Or are you teaching:
- "Don't get caught"
- "Avoid mom/dad when they are mad"
- "I'm bad"

Consequences always teach something. The question is whether they are teaching what you intended.

Discipline means to "teach" rather than merely "punishing" to punish.

When we regulate ourselves and focus on the lesson, not our frustration, we parent from intention instead of reaction.

What narrative about yourself is holding you back? Our actions are often a result of what we believe about ourselves. Challenge self-doubt and take action!

Is your child due for their child wellness visit? Did you know that your primary care provider can write a referral for counseling? Here is an easy how to and what to expect when you schedule with me as a Medicaid behavioral health provider.

Many topics come up during these wellness visits, but the focus is often on physical symptoms. Many times, mental health and physical symptoms go hand in hand. Common topics I work with are anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavior problems.

I am currently accepting new patients and can get you on the schedule in a timely manner. I am passionate about providing another option for counseling services through Medicaid.

My office is located in Daphne and I can provide telehealth services as well.

According to Brené Brown’s research, the average person can only identify three emotions as they are experiencing them: “happy, sad, and angry.”

She goes on to call this a “crisis of emotional literacy” that limits the human experience. Expanding our emotional vocabulary allows us to recognize and express our needs in a more productive manner!

If you find yourself “ghosting” your emotions or just feel stuck and confused, reach out and schedule an appointment!

Just in case you missed relaxing on the beach on Labor Day! I am a big proponent of getting outside and enjoying nature. You may feel as though you don’t want to do those activities or hobbies you once enjoyed. Take that first step, you’ll thank yourself for it! I have spots available, reach out to book an appointment!

Reminder that your anxiety is not a reliable news source! Anxiety is characterized by persistent overthinking, typically about the future. Counseling can help practice ways to manage and control negative thinking patterns.
