Why should I do it:

• It provides student with comfort and limits
• You remain in control of the environment
   

When should I do it:

• When a student breaks a rule or whose actions are disruptive enough to require a formal consequence

How do I do it:

• Always provide consequences to students in the most non-emotional state possible. If needed, take a time out for yourself before implementing consequence
• Be brief. Use fewest words possible to explain consequence
• Give a consequence for the behavior every time it happens.
