I especially love the way responsibilty for a child's actions have been put back on them by asking them to acknowledge what they did; how it made the other child feel, or how it broke a rule; and the asking them to describe what the consequence is. This has to be more effective than an adult stepping in, stopping whatever is happening and sending the offending child straight to punishment. This sounds like fantastic advice.
