Unfortunately, the cause and effect relationship does not come naturally to the child harmed by exposure to alcohol before birth. For these children, lessons are repeated hundreds of times, with similar outcomes. Learning can be slow and frustrating for everyone involved, including the child. To help our FAS children make the connection between cause and effect, we need to allow them to make mistakes, fail when applicable, and then live with the consequences of their choices. When a poor choice requires discipline we should choose something that seems like a logical consequence of the action to reinforce the cause and effect training. Of course, after the hundredth time of assigning the same consequence to the same child, year after year, we may find ourselves getting quite angry. Thus, I began my quest to find logical consequences that teach the cause and effect relationship, and also amuse me.
