Make the repair part a discussion . Forcing behavior without taking the time to properly explain why his behavior was wrong may prevent your child from reflecting on the lesson you ’ re trying to teach him . One way to get him to internalize what ’ s happened is through discussion , but only once everyone ’ s had a chance to calm down . Talking in the heat of the moment is never a good idea . And some space before discussing a wrong may also work in helping kids gain better perspective on why they should avoid damaging behavior in the future .
