I found the section on Parental Discipline (Chapter 8 pg 254) very interesting. I especially found the different discipline types suggested interesting. The one that I found most interesting was the Love Withdrawal technique. Even though I do agree that the fear of punishment and of losing parental love will affect children and their moral development, I feel that this type of discipline may play against the parent. While for me disappointing and being ignored by my parents was very hurtful and positively affected me, for some children who are already seeking attention from the parent, withholding attention or love from the child may cause he/she to act out even more. Therefore I believe that before deciding what technique to employ, the parent must know and understand their child.
