By threatening to sell her daughters doll house if she didn’t get a song on the piano done right or threatening to chuck out the sony playstation because someone got a B or an a- instead of an a+. Yeah that’ll work.
“Yeah that’ll work.”
But it often DOES WORK. It works all over Asia, for instance.
that’s stupid
It assumes a child has the capability to understand such complex punishment
Children only understand IMMEDIATE consequences. Run into the street, and you gt a whack on the ass. They do not understand the complexitys of vehicle mass and velocity and its effects on a 40 pound child.
But what woud the parents do if she did NOT play the song correctly? selling her doll house a week later and going “see?” is a stupid punishment and probably does more damage than good.
One of my Latin students told me he never even played with a game console that he got for Christmas. “She only gave it to me so she could take it away later,” he said.
It took less than that for me to threaten to throw out the Playstation.
