I am amused to find myself replying here.

One thing they taught us about in parenting facilitation is natural consequences, which are events that follow naturally as a result of our behaviour and which are great learning opportunities.

So, if Brandon has no favourite clothes to wear after Wednesday, and doesn't get laundry done until laundry day, this means he will have to wear his less-favourite clothes and this is a natural consequence - something he will learn on his own without adult interference. The adult's role here is to stay clear, no "I told you so" lectures, and no giving in to the whining. You let routines be the boss here, so it's okay to say that laundry day is X day, and it's also okay to validate the emotions behind the whining (ie, if he's upset that he has no clothes he likes to wear, you can say something like "It sounds like you're really upset about not having your favourite clothes to wear. I get that - I don't like it when I don't have my favourite clothes either. When laundry day comes on Sunday, we'll both have more options."

That said, I have no children, and my cat is defective, so feel free to ignore me:). However, I have a really awesome video of Barbara Coloroso who talks about this stuff far more eloquently than me. You're welcome to borrow if if you're interested once my class is done (two more weeks!)
