Which family tradition would I keep, and which response would I choose to change?
Locally developed measures distinguish physical, verbal, psychological and positive discipline across generations.
Who was studied?
Four hundred and ninety Egyptian parents comparing their own and earlier generations’ discipline practices.
Age / stage: Ages 2–12½
Read with three questions
- Whose memories supplied the comparison between generations?
- Whose perspective is represented by the ratings, and whose perspective is missing?
- Which family tradition would I keep, and which response would I choose to change?
