question 62

Essay

Jeff was a four-year-old who often misbehaved (hitting his brother, interrupting his parents, leaving toys around the house). His parents were determined that he should learn to "do right." Any deviations from correct behavior were dealt with quickly and efficiently through spankings, taking away privileges, and scoldings. They carried through on their belief that Jeff needed to know that misbehavior would always be punished. Jeff's parents did not believe it was necessary to offer Jeff explanations. What explanation can you offer for Jeff's high level of misbehavior?
