Reply to "Using consequences with traumatized youth"

Hi Lorraine!

Your question goes to the heart of our nonviolent philosophy of child raising, which we teach parents as well as service providers. A good place to start is "Beyond Discipline" by Alfie Kohn. http://www.alfiekohn.org/books/bd.htm

Here's a taster, written for educators: http://www.alfiekohn.org/teaching/edweek/discipline.htm

And here's one for parenting: http://www.alfiekohn.org/parenting/punishment.htm

Another good book is "Beyond Consequences" by Heather Forbes. She applies this perspective to traumatized kids.

Let me know if you need more help!
