A consequence is something that happens
because of something that you have
thought about, felt, said or done.

Everything has consequences so it is very
important that you think, feel, act and speak
in ways that are caring, loving and positive.







Situation: You keep thinking about a very scary movie you watched
Consequence: You feel scared at bed time and have nightmares

Situation: You think about how much you love your family & friends
Consequence: You feel good and treat them well,
which makes them feel good              

         



Situation: You are angry at someone for hurting you
Consequence: You feel unhappy and hurt another person

Situation: You feel good about helping your mum and
dad with chores
Consequence: Both you and your parents feel happy and
               appreciate each other more

         



Situation: You talk about how you think
and feel to your parents
Consequence: They understand your needs
and are able to be more supportive of you

Situation: You say something mean to someone
Consequence: They feel hurt and don't want to spend time
with you or play with you





Situation: You don't get ready for school on time because you are watching TV or playing a game
Consequence: Your parents become frustrated, you miss your bus
and you are late to school

Situation: You see someone all alone and ask              
them to join in your game              
Consequence: You have made someone very happy and you have more fun because you have another friend



Before you do or say anything, you should think
about what may happen as a result of your words
and actions. Are you being kind and loving?
Are you treating others in a way that will
make them want to treat you well.

You should also be very careful of what you are thinking and
feeling, as even this has consequences. If you are thinking about
something scary, you will feel scared. If you are thinking about
something that hurts you, you will feel sad. If you are feeling
angry or jealous, you will feel hurt and unhappy.
