Soap in the mouth for lying.” For my final question I asked, “Should children be spanked at all?” He said, “Yes.” Now I mostly agreed with what my interviewee said in response to the questions asked.

Parents punish their children in order to raise them into competent members of society, but the argument over how a parent should go about doing so remains as a hot topic. Olga Khazan seeks to provide information for parents in “No Spanking, No Time-Out, No Problems”, her personal interview with Yale Professor, Alan Kazdin. Kazdin suggests that punishing children does not affect behavior at all, and parents should instead use positive reinforcement to change a kid’s behavior.…

    When raising a child, it is ultimately the responsibility of the parents to teach their children right from wrong. There are many different methods of disciplining a child. Some are viewed as more “acceptable” than others. Whether parents chose the more “acceptable” method, such as a time out, or the less “acceptable” method of spanking, both are trying to teach discipline. Webster’s dictionary defines spanking as “to strike on the buttocks with an open hand” (O’Callaghan 2).…

    Within limits, discipline is a crucial aspect of Love and Logic; but should be viewed as what teachers can do with students rather than what teachers can do for them. When disciplining a student, the student must realize he still has rights as a student and as an individual. If a student believes his rights are being dishonored then he will not respond as positively to the teachers requirements. Having control of the disciplinary situation involves teachers understanding things from the perspective of the student. Teachers need to be aware that a student will try to shift the blame to anyone but himself.…
