Discuss the techniques that parents use to restrict their children's behavior.
On Jun 08, 2024
One technique parents use to restrict child behavior is induction, or reasoning. This involves explaining to the child why one behavior is preferable over another. Some parents use power assertive methods. These include physical punishment and denial of privileges. Power assertive methods are associated with lower levels of internal moral conduct in children as well as higher levels of aggression and delinquent behavior.
Finally, some parents use, or threaten to use, withdrawal of love. They isolate or ignore misbehaving children. Because parental approval is important, loss of love can result in guilt and anxiety in children.
