Parental Discipline Strategies In Abusive And Nonabusive Family

A. Paragraph 1 1.A critical feature exhibited by parental discipline is that it can change or manipulate a child’s personality. One way this is seen is through making a child more easily angered and generally more negative.

2. Parental discipline can affect the behavior of a child by causing a child to feel easily angered in response to others, especially if the form of discipline used upon this child is considered harsh or abusive. Signs of abusive punishment would include physical and even psychological harassment.

A kid may have this issue due to the discipline they receive which lacks an evident surface level of love or respect.

In this article, the writer briefly describes the situation of the two different environments of discipline used by parents on their children.

This article supports the idea that if the parent uses “reasoning over power assertion”, the child will internalize good and not
