Choice Parents do not believe in the concept of punishment so I am often asked the question, \u201cHow do kids learn responsibility without punishment?\u201d It\u2019s a myth that children need pain to learn. In fact, the opposite is true. When children are being hurt, either physically or emotionally, they are unable to learn because they are closed for protection. Choice parents use modeling and the art of teaching from natural consequences to help their children learn responsibility. No punishment required\u2026
