How do discipline and punishment differ? Why does spanking seem to work in the short run? Why do your textbook authors NOT recommend spanking children? Include in your answer a discussion of the research on the effects of physical punishment
What will be an ideal response?
--Discipline is teaching children appropriate behavior.
--Punishment is eliminating or reducing undesirable behavior.
--Spanking works in the short run because the child stops misbehaving immediately. In the long term, however, children do the behavior again or do something else inappropriate.
The authors do not recommend spanking because it can cause children to be afraid of their parents, most abuse starts out as punishment and spanking sends the message that it's okay to hit people.
Research:
--spanked children have lower moral standards
--spanked children are more likely to become delinquent
--children were spanked have low self-esteem and depression
--children who were spanked are more violent and aggressive
