Which of Hoffman's three approaches to discipline is most likely to empower children and encourage prosocial behavior? How does it do this?

What will be an ideal response?


Inductive discipline uses reasoning rather than power or love withdrawal. It empowers children by helping them find and use words to express their feelings and giving them choices. It allows parents to model effective conflict resolution and helps children understand the consequences of their actions. It also helps them to internalize rules and standards. Punishment focuses children's attention on themselves and their own feelings, while inductive discipline focuses it on others and encourages empathetic and prosocial motives.
