@ Glance -> once again, the wise has spoken. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> dang right, consequences teach most effectively. but at the same time, it can have adverse effect. such as one major failure (such as failing a major exam) can cause a child to fear failure so much that he/she will refuse to try again.

living example is one heck of a way to teach but only if the parents are willing to do so. any one that does not comply to it will condemn almost the whole effort. i recalled when i was young, my father warned me & my siblings not to end up like him smoking while he smoked away. today all of my brothers smoke while only my sister & i don't. let me tell u the truth; i almost end up smoking too! so yes, living example can be very effective but one slip is all it takes as children pick up even the most subtle things parents do/say & dish it back to the parents.
