We are all continually scratching our heads for effective consequences. Parents seem confused about the difference between rights and privileges when it comes to kids. It is a child's right to have a roof over their head, two sets of clothes, nutritious food, medical attention and live in an abuse-free home. Everything listed below is a privilege which parents may, at their discretion, bestow upon kids who demonstrate their willingness to be responsible family members. Do you continue to provide these items for your child in spite of his or her refusal to comply with house rules?
