Balancing Punishments and Reinforcement
If a child doesn’t know how to read:
– we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to swim:
– we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to multiply:
– we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to behave:
– we punish.
There is something wrong with this picture!
Rick Harper of Behavioural Management Systems has been helping parents find the right balance between “teaching” and “punishment” for over 40 years.
