Want to know a great way to phrase a warning? Try an If-Then Statement. An If-Then Statement clearly lets your kids know the exact consequence they’ll get if they misbehave. For instance, “If you throw that ball again, then I’m going to take it away from you.” This will cause them to connect their action with the consequence.
