what is frequently criticised by childcare experts?
naughty steps
what research backs the criticism of the naughty step?
Morris (2014)
what did Morris claim?
the naughty step can have long term emotional effects
why does the naughty step have long term effects?
because children do not have the same ability as adults to reflect on their own behaviour & verbalise they feelings they experience
without empathy & help in their feelings, what may this lead to for children?
the naughty step may ultimately have a negative effect on development
what is a further issue with conditioning techniques?
consistency
why is consistency an issue with conditioning techniques?
parents may try to follow parenting techniques such as the ones Jo Frost provides & be calm & consistent while applying those techniques such as the naughty step
why might life of a full-time parent effect consistency?
means even most dedicated parents may slip up & demonstrate frustration & inconsistency in their application of conditioning techniques
