Sue, it's been a while; how are things going?  Have you discovered that the resets are generally all you need? 

If a consequence is needed, a sincere apology or handwritten note will often suffice.  Words are hurtful at times, but also sharing alternative statements of greatness to share can be very effective tools when rules aren't being broken.

I hope you'll drop by soon and share an update.  We'd love to hear from you.
