Dave and Marsha discuss how consequences should be used as teaching tools rather than punishment. In THRIVE by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, consequences are designed to transfer responsibility for change to the child. Marsha explains the importance of being firm without being harsh, while Dave reflects on viewing correction as a gift rather than a threat. This lesson emphasizes hope, practice, and debriefing so that children learn what to do differently next time, strengthening both character and relationship.
