Strange form of discipline

[playfelt]

Just as there are different learning styles in children there is a need for different disciplining techniques and unfortunately the current wisdom lumps them all in the same vein at the same time as they promote variety in schooling methods. The two are so linked together and any educator should know that that it really makes me shudder. I can see which parents use necessary force here too by how well the children follow the rules of authority without testing every limit.

At the same time there are some children that respond to a simple glare of disaproval and others that need something far more tangible to get compliance. We see this when they are toddlers and those are the children that are showing up in the "studies" against spanking saying oh this child was spanked as a child and therefore they are delinquints today - what they forget to study is what that child was like as an infant/toddler in their degree of defiance and uncompromising character.
