Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sara grabbing the branch of the rose bush and hurting her hand is a painful consequence that will likely deter her from repeating the behavior in the future. The other options involve scolding, time-out, or physical punishment, which may not necessarily teach the child why their behavior was inappropriate and may not be effective in preventing future occurrences.
