[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, exaggerate? We're talking about parents who literally are using corporate jargon like "corrective action plans" and "performance reviews" to manage their children.

Yes, I'm the one who needs a rebuke.[/quote]

You're the one who apparently hasn't read any parenting books within the last 2 decades. It's not like people are making these phrases up. It's also not like these books are promoting do-it-yourself fascist regimes in the comfort of your home. The jargon is just shorthand for various actions that are much more reasonable than (admittedly) they sound.

You wouldn't know because you clearly haven't read any modern parenting books, but this isn't your parents' "spare the rod, spoil the child" stuff. My take on it is, most of the books these days are strongly (very strongly!) eschewing punishment for bad behavior and instead they are promoting rewards for good behaviors.

(And I must have missed the stuff about "performance reviews" because that's a new one on me, although admittedly I haven't read the whole thread. Must be a parenting book I never read.)[/quote]
