It is very sad that positive punishment is still quite prevalent in the U.S. while it's well-known that it does not teach students' required behaviors. I also think positive reinforcement and extinction should be used by parents instead of positive punishment. Moreover, I think it's important for parents to understand there are functions in every behavior of their children. Figuring out the functions of behaviors are critical to use which skills for modifying their behaviors. Message-learning approach suggested that recipients of messages should attend, comprehend, and accept the message before acting. Thus, we might need to help parents or even teachers comprehend that we should use positive reinforcement to reinforce desirable behaviors and ignore maladaptive behaviors. Using research results with valid data to persuade the parents might be able to help them accept the usefulness of positive reinforcement and extinction.

Lediya, I agree that corporal punishment is not beneficial and does not help. However, I think of corporal punishment as physical aggression, not eating soap, hot sauce, or other unpleasant substance. But I guess it depends on the method of force. Also, I am assuming you're talking about corporal punishment with the absence of any positive reinforcement and the negative effects it has on those who experience it? Also, what do you consider positive discipline? Comments are closed.
