For those of you who have not yet seen the November 1985 issue of
ATLANTIC, I recommend the article by Bruno Bettleheim, ``Punishment
Versus Discipline'' which is the the cover story. The abstract is included
in the table of contents, so if you need something to motivate your reading
this article, I quote:
Punishment teaches a child merely that those who have power
can force others to do their will. Only through emulation
can a child acquire desirable values and a discipline based on
them. The maxim ``Do as I say, not as I do'' won't work
with children.
An excellent and provocative article that should be read by all parents.
