EPTComing from a Caucasian household I can reiterate that the positive reinforcement doesn't work. My dad always offered me 5 bucks for every A or whatever. I didn't care either way. Now if he had beaten me when I got bad grades, well then maybe I would have cared to cheat more often and get an A.

Negative reinforcement is preferred over positive reinforcement. Not being racist, just sharing my 2cents here negative reinforcement- "if you don't get straight A's, then you get [a punishment]" positive reinforcement- "if you do get straight A's, then you get [a reward] I used to get beat with sticks and my friends got beat with metal pipes (not too hard, doesn't shatter bones) edit: haha i remember how sometimes my cousin would come to school with bruises down her arms but we were told to say that we "fell down" if someone asked Lol, that's what my parents said to me when I was younger. Come to think of it, I've avoided some deep shit because of that. Sure it hurts but it sets you straight. My little cousin actually told on my aunt. Stupid kid. | ||

How about both? If you get that A, an award, if you don't, a beating. | ||

I was beaten as a child, never so that it hurt me more than for say a half hour, but it was very effective. There is a line, in fact a thick one, between beatings and abuse. | ||

Although punishment is twice as effective as rewards, rewards work in the long run. | ||

ok now on a serious note, i come from a mexican household and yes i had physical discipline upon me if i did anything bad, constantly or bad enough of course and it worked. i personally say this is favorable but going to the extreme of beating a child is not a good idea. my 2 cents, either extreme is bad | ||

If you don't they will abuse the stigma pf societies view to control you. If you only operate on their level with mental discipline they see this and play mind games, show them how you don't take that shit and smack them. | ||

Either it will control them or it won't, but if it succeeds, your children will grow up spineless cowards and if it fails, your children will grow up seething with resentment. | ||

Either it will control them or it won't, but if it succeeds, your children will grow up spineless cowards and if it fails, your children will grow up seething with resentment. a choke chain on a dog works because the dog gets hurt when it tries to not listen or run out of his bounds. Eventually the dog (depending on how smart) will learn to listen and obey commands associated with the pain. Then you can remove the choke chain and use a regular leash. PS- I am not a spineless coward, nor do I resent my parents. | ||
