Despite a parent’s best efforts, children will still make mistakes and break rules. According to positive parenting techniques, what is the BEST way for a parent to respond to their child’s mistake?

Positive parenting uses consequences that are related to the child’s behavior and help them learn responsibility. For example, if a child makes a mess, they can help clean it up. Ignoring the mistake or leaving the child to choose their own consequences may not help them understand how to make things right.
