You have been asked to speak to a group of parents about supporting young children’s moral development. What child-rearing practices and discipline strategies are likely to facilitate moral behavior and why?
well how about the old fashion you know it’s wrong & you do it anyway you get punished for it- instead of going to time out-I still believe there is nothing wrong with a swat on the butt when need be-& i’m saying swat not drop their pants & whip them with belts- which is how i was done & learned early on it didn’t feel good so don’t keep messing up & it won’t happen again?

Number One – Example. You can say whatever you want to a child, but if he sees you acting differently, he won’t take your words seriously.
Otherwise, your discipline needs to be focused on the act, not the child. Explain to him why what he did was wrong without telling him he is a bad person for doing it. Depending on the age, simply stopping behavior and explaining what is wrong several times will usually work. Then you progress to withholding as punishment either time outs(1 minute per year of age), toys, etc. When they are old enough to understand, ask them first to think about how they would feel if someone did that to them and then ask them to apologize to the person hurt. If they take something from a store, make them take it back and apologize to the storekeeper.
Do not expect physical abuse to create morals. All it does is guarantee the child won’t do it when there is someone around to punish him. When they aren’t, he has no motivation to stop, since he only learned to avoid pain, not understand why what he did was wrong.

Warm affectionate but strict parenting. The statistics prove this, but as to why this is so, we don’t know completely. But…
The warmth says "I care." The strictness says it’s important and right to obey the rules.
