How to Discipline Children
Inductive Discipline
Induction is a type of discipline that can be used as a correctional tool to promote a child's moral development for their future personality. This tool can be performed by simply stating what bad effects the child's misbehavior has on others.
Ex) A child may think it's humorous to pick on a peer with actions such as poking and pinching. As a reaction, the child being effected would get upset. The parent may notice this occurrence and interfere by showing the child what his/her actions are causing to the other.
This style of discipline induces some empathy-based guilt into developing children and in turn, encourages empathy and sympathy for others.
