| Nonpunitive Child Discipline

Then let's get rid of ALL punishments! Ban them all! Now you are talking. Natural consequences are more than adequate for children to learn, coupled with loving parents that actually care about their childs healthy development, and who will teach and guide gently. Unfortunately we are saddled with a huge population of spanked children now grown to dangerous adulthood. While I don't approve of a punishment oriented approach to rehabilitating them, I am aware they aren't going to volunteer to much rehabilitation, so they must be locked away or on supervised parole to protect the population. Would that we could proved more psychological support for them..reparenting them as I was fortunate enough to do with some teens in the 80's. The major reason we don't do more rehab is that the rest of the 90% NOT in jail have poorly developed reasoning capacity, considerable thinking error, and a severe retardation of conscience development. Funding and commitment to rehab rather than punishment appears lacking. So much for the other people in this society lacking conscience and social responsibility.... Will the question of my status as being spanked or never spanked, by my own admission, or having made a claim one way or the other every be solved? Stay tuned. OH!, and do visit the page and read it. What touched me the most, no minimizing the wonderfully sensitive responses to the child by Chris, is that this scenario is repeated over and over in the lives of children and their loving non-punitive caregiver, whether with the child of friends, a small relative, or one's very own child. The peace and beauty of it can't be adequately described in words, but Chris certainly came close. Have you read it completely, Doan? What is your take on the feelings of the child and Chris? What thoughts might each be having in response to each other? What might the qualities or shortcomings of their relationship include? Is Chris feeling responsible for this child, even though not his own? Kane On 7 Dec 2003, Chris wrote: http://www.geocities.com/cddugan/Non...iscipline.html |
