I love natural consequences! Kids learn more from experience than if you told them 1000 times!
I HAVE let kids get knocked down by the swings, not if the swinger was going fast, just 3 year old speed, not enough to hurt, just knock them down. They sure learn that lesson quick! This is after telling the child over and over "you'll get knocked down..."
I tell them "go way around" about 10 dozen times, but if they don't listen or I am not quick enough, oh well. I just tell them, "THAT is why I keep telling you to go way around." They always look at me like a light bulb just went off in their brain. ::
