Shame as a parenting tool
Posted By katie allison granju
At Music City Bloggers, they’re talking about using outright humiliation to bring the kids into line:
Personally, I’m torn. On the one hand, where children are concerned, I’ve never viewed public humiliation as an acceptable form of punishment. (I’m less appalled when it’s an adult but still wonder about its ramifications.) On the other hand, it is nice to see parents taking a creative and active role in disciplining their children. Apparently both boys were disciplined by their schools with suspension from classes but their moms felt that wasn’t enough to get their attention and actually bring about a change in behavior.
