The basis of natural consequence law is that children's rationality is still in the so-called "sleep" state. Rousseau opposed reasoning education for children of this age and severe discipline and punishment. On the contrary, he advocates that children should learn to obey the "laws of nature" and correct themselves by experiencing the adverse consequences of their mistakes.

In this way, the punishment for children is only the natural consequence of their mistakes.

Matters needing attention in natural consequence law:

1. Natural result method is safe stocking, not reckless stocking. It is best to use it before children's puberty, especially before school, which is the safest period. During this period, children are faced with trivial matters of life, and there is no danger.

What parents need to do is not to "intimidate" their children with various conditions and consequences and prevent them from doing certain things. Instead, "tell" the child what the possible consequences are, and then let the child make his own choice. The attitude of using natural consequence method is very important, and it must be a gesture that has nothing to do with itself, so as to be effective enough.

3. The natural consequence method pays attention to the inner feelings brought to children by the occurrence of consequences. If parents are guided by the concept of not letting the consequences happen, they will lose the precious significance of the natural consequences law to their children.
