Course overview
Lesson Overview
6.2 – Understanding Natural vs. Imposed Consequences: Natural consequences happen on their own, like feeling cold after forgetting a jacket. Imposed consequences are planned by others to teach or protect. Natural ones help build independence and personal insight. Imposed ones teach safety, structure, and social expectations. Knowing the difference helps choose the right approach. Overusing imposed rules can block learning opportunities. Allowing safe natural outcomes promotes self-reflection. Both types work best when combined thoughtfully. They teach that life gives feedback even without punishment. With balance, consequences become lessons instead of battles.
