That literally made no sense.

WTF??

Damn dude, makes perfect sense

If your kid misbehaves, and all he gets is a stern warning (warning of what exactly?), then hes more likely to repeat that behavior, because he felt ZERO negative consequences, so you inadvertently positively reinforced his poor decisions

The ticket scenario was the perfect analogy. Pulling away from the traffic stop, you are either cussing the cop, or texting and calling all your friends celebrating that you didn't get punished

Yeah, you got stopped (negative event), but which consequence led to a positive reaction from you after?
