- (a) "Unproductive work" is work that serves no purpose except to demean the child. Examples include moving rocks or logs from one pile to another or digging a hole and then filling it in. Unproductive work is never an appropriate behavior management tool.
- (b) "Unproductive work" does not include work that corrects damage that the child's behavior caused. For example, you may require a child who defaces a fence or wall to repaint it. This example includes a logical consequence and is an acceptable behavior management tool.
