Feedback
A Correct. Caregivers nurture their children so they will achieve self-control, competence, and self-direction in order to be a productive individual in society. It could be said this is the goal of discipline--to teach or instruct. The AAP Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Heath say that discipline should be approached in the broadest sense of helping the child learn rules, regulations, and goals of living in the world with others--and not just as setting limits and punishing.
B Incorrect. Typical of the authoritarian or autocratic parenting style, but does not help the child internalize.
C Incorrect. Positive discipline suggests that to improve a child's behavior, it is not appropriate to make the individual feel worse or guilty.
D Incorrect. The American Academy of Pediatrics does not encourage parental discipline to push remorse as a means of the child learning self-control.
