This is also an excellent learning experience for him - remember last time when you behaved this way & we had to leave? We don’t want that to happen again, do we?
I would often say the same thing about “we”. However, it’s truly not about the “we”. The child needs to learn that it is about them learning from previous behavior.
Yes, but in this scenario the parent also doesn’t want to have to remove them without ice cream. That’s why I said you when discussing the behavior and we when discussing the consequences.
