| Clayc... it's because when you were punished it was not one that was administered by rule and fairness, rather out of emotion.
When I did something bad and got punished for it, I felt bad about what I did. Did I plan on revenge? No I didn't because I knew I got what I deserved. Now how did I get to that point? Because at first, physical punishment was used (not always spanking) but that learned me to give them my ear, then I heard the reasons and it all made sense.
I was just a kid but it made sense.
As for the below:
2) Never yell or scream at your child. It indicates that YOU have lack of self
control. Instead use "Command Voice" and a threatening intonation like a TI
does.
3) Never curse your child, someday you will pay for it.
4) After scolding your child, demand that the child explain back to you what was wrong and WHY it was wrong. This will clear up a LOT of misunderstandings.
5) When your child is good, offer praise as positive feedback.
I am in agreement.
The DI voice does wonders. It works brilliantly.
I am seeing unparalleled success in my classrooms because I chose not to forget the lessons I learned as a child and lessons I learned in the Marines and I have applied it to my classes.
It is an outstanding success so far... and so much so that there is pressure to either transfer or fire me because it "makes other teachers nervous." |
