Parenting practices
Rules of traffic – an instructional approach to discipline where parents explain to their children how to behave, teaching the rules of behavior as they would the rules of traffic, with little explanation or deeper moral and social implications. Fine gardening – parents believe that children have positive and negative qualities, the latter of which parents should "weed out" or "prune" into an appropriate shape. Rewards and punishments – a method of discipline based on logic: for a good behavior the child receives a reward or praise, and for a bad or unwanted behavior the child receives a punishment or reprimand. To teach a child by this logic may be very effective if it is done consistently. Concerted cultivation – fostering children's talents through organized leisure activities. Parents challenge their children to think critically and to speak properly and frequently, especially with other adults. |
