• Which of the following could be described as a
consequence? Select ALL that apply.
• politely asking your child to sit on time out after she hit her brother
• passing your child the milk when she says, “milk please!”
• talking with your child about how it makes you feel when she hits her brother

happens as a result of a behavior, it could be reinforcing or
punishing or have no effect.
