[quote=Anonymous]Studies show that long term punishments aren’t extremely effective. The same is true for punishing kids for lying. A lot of old school punishments dont really work except to make kids fearful and hide things from their parents better. However, a lot of parents don’t want to feel ineffective, and they feel doing something-anything-is better than letting kids learn from their mistakes so they go with hard core punishments. (I think it’s sort of like when people give antibiotics for viruses. They know the science shows it won’t help, and can actually harm, but they can’t stand the thought of doing nothing.) There’s also the defensive stance that scientists can’t possibly know what’s best for their kids. The psychologists running these studies are probably hippies who never say no to their kids. [/quote]
