- This child's parents have got @1 trained to ';
- keep @2 eye on them for things @3 might be ';
- doing that might get @1 into trouble. ';
- ';
- This child has learned to look for any signs of ';
- his parent's disapproval. The parents are sure ';
- to show their disapproval if the behavior be- ';
- comes even slightly unacceptable. The level of ';
- disapproval varies with the level of unaccept- ';
- ability of the behavior. They really know @1 . ';
- Punishment 1';
- ';
- This child's parents are focused on making sure ';
- that @3 knows and understands the reason why ';
- @3 is being punished. ';
- ';
- They make sure that @3 realizes the punishment ';
- @3 is receiving is a direct consequence of what ';
- @3 did. They look at each case of unacceptable ';
- behavior and then think of the consequence most ';
- likely to get the point across. They explain ';
- clearly how the behavior relates. ';
- Punishment 2';
- ';
- This child's parents believe that a punishment ';
- must be unpleasant to be effective. ';
- ';
- They realize that giving up something @3 likes ';
- or giving up getting something that @3 wants is ';
- unpleasant. They also realize this form of ';
- punishment works best if @3 realizes beforehand ';
- what @3 will lose if @3 does something unac- ';
- ceptable. They point out that since @3 knew ';
- what would happen, @3 chose it, in a sense. ';
- Punishment 3';
- ';
- This child's parents are always looking for ways';
- that @3 is unable to manage @2 own world. ';
- ';
- When @2 behavior shows that @3 cannot handle ';
- something, @3 then loses the freedom to do it ';
- without controls. Likewise, if @2 behavior is ';
- such that they doubt @2 ability, this doubt may ';
- delay a new opportunity for @1 . The parents ';
- always make it clear what behavior will cause ';
- them to have these doubts. ';
- Punishment 4';
- ';
- This child's parents believe that when they give';
- a responsibility, the child is expected to ';
- handle it. ';
- ';
- For them, responsibility is pleasant and failure';
- is reason to rebuild trust. They feel that ';
- trust is best regained by demonstrating that ';
- @3 can handle unpleasant tasks before @3 can ';
- be trusted with more pleasant responsibilities. ';
- ';
- Punishment 5';
- ';
- This child's parents feel that the best way to ';
- show that certain behavior is unacceptable is ';
- to limit @2 freedom. They feel freedom is a ';
- privilege that is lost by irresponsibility. ';
- They take unacceptable behavior as a reason to ';
- remove the privileges that @3 enjoys. The ';
- greater the transgression, the more freedom ';
- is surrendered. They always make sure that @3 ';
- knows @2 freedom is contingent on being able ';
- to use it responsibly. ';
- Punishment 6';
- ';
- This child's parents take unacceptable behavior ';
- as a lack of @2 understanding of the importance ';
- of behavior of the right type. ';
- ';
- They feel @3 should have the opportunity to ';
- learn it's importance by engaging in the right ';
- sort of behavior under supervision. This often ';
- results in the repetition of tedious tasks until';
- @3 understands. ';
- ';
- Punishment 7';
- ';
- This child's parents comment on every negative ';
- or unacceptable thing that @3 does. ';
- ';
- Their comments are focused on what went wrong, ';
- at the time. They focus on how the behavior ';
- went wrong and the part @3 played. They want ';
- @1 to realize how @2 behavior impacted on ';
- others and to awaken a sense of shame and social';
- responsibility for @2 actions, no matter how ';
- minor. They feel this shame is good. ';
- Punishment 8';
- ';
- This child's parents focus on punishing all be- ';
- havior that demonstrates that the child did not ';
- do what @3 was told or was disobedient to those ';
- in authority. ';
- ';
- They make use of a wide variety of punishments ';
- and allow teachers or friends to punish @1 if ';
- and when @3 fails to do as @3 was told. ';
- The punishment can often be greater for the act ';
- of disobedience than the behavior merits. ';
- Punishment 9';
- ';
- This child's parents tie social freedom to the ';
- behavior at home. ';
- ';
- The worse the behavior shown at home, the less ';
- welcome @3 is and the fewer contacts @3 is ';
- permitted with others. When @2 behavior is un- ';
- acceptable, @3 is isolated from the family and ';
- others until @2 behavior is again under control ';
- and can be counted on to remain acceptable. ';
- Belonging is contingent on behaving civilized. ';
