Cultural Context: Discipline

Review Table 7:1 in your text, “Approaches to Guidance and Discipline with Young Children,” and choose two extrinsic reinforcers/rewards and two intrinsic reinforcers/punishments.  Give an example of each choice to demonstrate your understanding of “How It Works” and explain why it is an appropriate choice for a defiant child.  Explain what you would say to a parent who might question your decision to use this method.  Finally, share with your classmates your favorite extrinsic reward for a 3-year-old.
