Explain the difference between punishment and discipline.
What will be an ideal response?
Discipline refers to methods a parent uses to teach and socialize children toward acceptable behavior. Hoffman categorizes discipline as love withdrawal and power assertion, which are both forms of punishment, and inductive discipline, which is not punitive. Time-outs and removal of privileges are milder forms of punishment, while physical (also known as corporal punishment or spanking) is considered strict and not recommended because of its tendencies to foster antisocial behavior.
