    The Guidance Approach to Discipline

    FS-468 (Revised), July 1996


    Deb Gebeke, Family Science Specialist

    I n a guidance approach to discipline, parents use methods that reduce conflicts
    respectfully for parents and children.
    Discipline is not punishment. It is a means of helping the child learn acceptable ways to deal
    with personal feelings and desires. Punishment, on the other hand, is a reaction to misbehavior
    that is usually hurtful and may even be unrelated to the misbehavior. Punishment is ineffective
    because it does not teach appropriate behavior. Though it may prevent a repeat of the behavior in
    the short term, it does not teach the child "what to do instead," so it rarely works in the long
    term. Punishment may release the parent's angry feelings and make the parent feel better, but it
    can create fear or humiliation in the child, and rarely leads to the creation of a respectful
    relationship.
    When children misbehave, parents and other adults need to help the child learn appropriate
    behaviors. Punishment may give immediate results, but does punishment build self-control? Do
    children learn to cope with their strong feelings and tough problems if they are punished?
    Research supports the conclusion that discipline works better than punishment and that children
    who are punished become very different people than children who are disciplined.
    This approach to discipline means using developmentally appropriate guidance.
    What is developmentally appropriate? That means you have a clear understanding of the stage of
    development your child is in. You know what can be expected for the age. With this in mind,
    you choose to pick a discipline method that best fits the child and the situation.
    Perhaps the greatest advantage of this approach is that it is based on open communication,
    positive discipline and that the techniques can apply to any age child. With a little practice and
    patience, you will experience positive results.
