This cautionary article urges general education preschool teachers to evaluate their responses to challenging student behavior. The manuscript delivers practical advice to improve teachers' responses to challenging behavior by refreshing their understanding of the various consequences that influence behavior recurrence. It highlights the need to avoid punitive measures that could harm teacher–child relationships and instead offer non-generic and function-specific consequences that support the child's needs and promote positive behavior development. By providing a review of the different types of consequences and real-life examples to illustrate their use, the article encourages teachers to consider the consequences they give, especially when a child's behavior changes in an unexpected direction.
