Actions and Their Consequences
Understand that actions have consequences — that what you choose to do affects both yourself and other people — and begin to think about what might happen before they act
Suggested ages 5–7
Learning journey
Your child is learning to make good choices — understanding right from wrong, keeping themselves safe, thinking about consequences, and following rules because they understand why they matter.
Evidence of understanding
- Describe what happened as a consequence of a specific action they took
- Predict what might happen if they choose a particular action before doing it
- Explain that actions can have good or bad consequences for themselves and others
Assessment prompt
Before Actions and Their Consequences does something — like taking a toy from a sibling or running in the corridor — can they stop and think about what might happen as a result?
