Assertive discipline

Spiritual disciplines are something that take a lot of work, they are things that don’t always come easy, and they often require practice to develop. As a believer, it is easy to just assume the role of a mediocre Christian who often overlooks spiritual growth, thinking that going to church every Sunday is enough to effectively grow in ones walk with Christ. Through study, it becomes obvious that Sunday Christianity is not enough, it takes work as a Christian to truly change and grow, and to…

disciplined like they used to be when their parents were little. A lot of kids nowadays get to do whatever they please and don’t get faced with any real consequences from their parents. The reason why is because a lot of people think that kids don’t need discipline and think it’s a waste of their “precious” time. Now who’s fault is it really that kids are this way now. Should the blame go to the parents? Or should it all go to the child who made those choices? These questions can’t really be…

From this unit, I have learned a lot about what disciplines means as a dictionary definition and as a personal opinion to lots of different people. I have also learned that this information could be different from what I may have known discipline to be as a child to what is in my household and culture along with how it is viewed in my profession. For example, according to an article on Babble.com, Indian parents believe that, “childhood is viewed as a sensitive time period where children are…

hence the kids were put under the custody of their grandmother. Conscious that spanking was a common disciplinary practice with majority of Americans parents, Spear and many others were confused. Psychologies have come up with a different way of discipline, since studies have proven that spanking children damages their overall well-being. Gershoff and Grogan-Kaylor made a study with children who were spank and those that were not spank.…

Corporal punishment as explained by Frechette, Zoratti, and Romano (2015) is a form of discipline often defined as the “use of physical force with the intention of causing a child to experience pain, but not injury, for the purposes of correction or control of the child’s behavior.” (p.135) Corporal punishment techniques (spanking) have existed for many years and has been a permanent form of discipline when dealing with children. There are various ways that parents familiarize their child with…

Inspirational Motivation by recognizing during the “situation” of the concept to include the status of my people and the status of the environment. To better articulate my intent as a leader, I need to better observe the morale, esprit de corps, discipline and proficiency of my subordinates and peers as they are displaying. In addition, I need to recognize my action as a leader will impact the organizational environment. Therefore, I need to establish clear direction and priorities when I am…

I agree that children like to challenge the rules, it is part of their nature; nevertheless, physical punishment is not the method to discipline them. How do you discipline your children? I strongly agree with the statement that, disregarding the discipline method or technique applied, discipline ensures the desired effects, when there is a close parent-child relationship. Therefore, without forgetting the love and respect, parents should inculcate children with…

later years. In her paper, “Parental Discipline reactions to Child Noncompliance and Compliance,” Christina Rodriguez states: “Spanking is inherently confrontational in nature, and enough studies of spanking during childhood attribute the practice to poor social skills and trust development issues.” Basically Rodriguez is claiming that due to present evidence, spanking can be said to be the cause of social problems for many children. I agree that physical discipline can lead to defects in social…

Also, at that point spanking no longer is a form of discipline, but rather a punishment. This also brings up another issue with spanking. If spanking becomes a punishment, than it no longer follows the purpose of using it. In an article written by Jared Pingleton titled, “Spanking Can Be an Appropriate Form of Child Discipline,” he explains the difference between punishment and discipline. Pingleton states that “punishment is motivated by anger, focuses on the past, and…

Physical punishment is a form of discipline which discipline is defined as “training to act in accordance with rules” (O’Leary 11). Some examples of physical punishment that are commonly used are “spanking, hitting, slapping, grabbing, pushing and/or physically restraining a child for the purpose of correction” (Dobbs et al 138). Physical punishment should also be “a last resort and a loving tap” (Dobbs…
