Reply:"Spankings or Praise": Which produces the desired behavior?





In researching this paper, I relied on several sources. Among them were articles from scientific journals, the popular press, and anecdotal evidence from parents 'on-the-ground'.





I hope to show that _______ is the better method and my evidence will support that.
Reply:Go to your public library, or maybe even you school library. There is a certain format that a research paper has to follow.


Make sure you have a "Works Cited " page.





Go to Google and type in "Research paper format". You will find a site for Purdue ( Owl something) as well as other sites. I don't know how long your teacher wants it to be. Be sure to ask. This will give you a good start.
Reply:Be for you start, write down all the pros and cons on reward and punishment, you may be able to go to the county court house and pick up some information on how much punishment you are wondering about, because too much and the parents can end up in court and too little and they walk all over the parent, I would say if the parents are well off they could lean more towards the rewards , such as taking them some where special, or to their choosing, but if they are not then they may lean a little more toward the military way.
Reply:I think if one has the power %26amp; guts to tolerate they are better off with reward but still sometimes punishment is essential
Reply:First start with your hypothesis. From there it will be easy. Sorry for the late answer. The title won't be hard to figure out when you're done
Reply:It's been awhile, but maybe you should start out what you're doing and the reason why you decided to pick it. Good luck!
Reply:The saying goes " I can see your lips moving but all I can hear is blah blah blah". Teenagers tend to hear this when they are being criticised. A reward system is all well %26amp; good, but they still need discipline %26amp; consequences for bad behaviour, so basically I think they need both.
Reply:start with your hypothesis then go on from there hope this helps peace
