Teaching Kids That Choices Have Consequences

Helping children understand that their choices matter is an important part of building responsibility and emotional growth. This Behavior & Consequences Chart is a simple, visual tool designed to make that lesson clear and age-appropriate.

The chart allows you to write in a specific behavior and the matching consequence, making expectations easy for kids to understand ahead of time. Instead of reacting in the moment, parents and teachers can calmly point back to the chart, creating consistency and reducing power struggles.

What makes this printable even more effective is the focus on positive behavior. Along with consequences, the chart also includes space for rewards for good choices, helping kids stay motivated and encouraged.

Children learn not only that negative actions have results, but that positive behaviors are noticed and celebrated too.

Perfect for home, classroom, or homeschool use, this printable supports accountability, clear communication, and positive discipline. Simply download, print, and customize it to fit your child’s needs.
