In the old, days parents followed a simple rule: spare the rod and spoil the child. These days less violent forms of discipline are favoured. Supernanny, a television toddler-tamer, recommends the "naughty step", to which ill-behaved naughty children are temporarily banished. Yet even this is too harsh, some psychologists say. But advocates of "positive discipline" say "naughty step" does nothing to encourage one to solve problems (and thus build character). Some even suggest it may be psychologically damaging.
Positive discipline, which is becoming a fad in America, aims to teach children self-control and empathy. Rather than screaming at them to pick up the toys they have thrown on the floor, parents or teachers ask them to suggest their own way of tackling the problem. Adults are encouraged to think harder about the causes of bad behaviour. Families meet regularly to discuss all of the above.
The Ravenswood School in Chicago has embraced positive discipline. When children quarrel, they are allowed to pick an option from a "wheel of choice" poster. These include "share and take turns", "balloon breath" and a spell in the "calm-down corner". In one classroom this has a tiny chair, some fairy lights and an inviting box of picture books.
Positive discipline is not new; Jane Nelson, a family consultant and child-care
guru
, first published a book with that title in 1981. No reliable statistics show how many parents or schools use it, but the Positive Discipline Association, a non-profit that ran 18 training workshops in 2005, found itself running 51 in 2010.
Doubters fear that positive really means permissive. Not so, says Maria Vannucci of the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. The goal is to connect with a child, rather than simply barking "Shut up!" or "Go to your room!" For example, a child who is getting underfoot in the kitchen may need to feel involved and be given something to do, such as rolling pastry or folding napkins. One who has given up on his homework may need to have the task broken down. A toddler who hits another may not know why he is angry; he may be removed or told: "Use your gentle hands." Bribes are out: positive disciplinarians fear they may prevent a child from developing pride in a job well done.
According to Paragraph 1, which one of the following is true?
选项
A、Positive discipline is absolutely superior to "naughty step".
B、Parents used to choose more violent ways to teach their children.
C、Supernanny advises parents to use "naughty step" and "positive discipline".
D、Some people suggest "naughty step" is both physically and mentally damaging.
答案
B
解析
选项A是无中生有。选项B定位到第一段第二句:These days less violent forms of discipline are favoured.(如今更加温和的教育方式备受青睐。)该项意为:过去父母选择更加暴力的方式教育子女。可见该项是原文的同义表述,或者“正话反说",故该项正确。选项C对应第三句:Supernanny,a television toddler-tamer,recommends the“naughty step”...该项说的却是“naughty step”and“positive discipline”,可见该项是错误的。选项D对应最后一句:Some even suggest it may be psychologically damaging.文章只提到“psychologically damaging(对心理造成伤害)”,该项说的却是“both physically and mentally damaging(对身心都造成伤害)”,可见该项也是错误的。
