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.
What’s the author’s attitude towards "positive discipline"?
选项
A、Permissive.
B、Supportive.
C、Objective.
D、Doubtful.
答案
C
解析
全文各段都出现了positive discipline一词,可见这个词是文章的中心词,也是文章讨论的主题,作者并没有在文章中明确表达自己的态度,然而最后一段的前两句为:Doubtersfear that positive really means permissive.Not so,says Marla Vannucci of the Adler School of Pro-fessional Psychology in Chicago.可见作者只是客观地描述不同人对positive discipline的看法,因此作者的态度是“objective客观的”。该题要注意避免误选[A]或[D],因为这两个词在最后一段出现过,原文是:Doubters fear that positive really means permissive.这一句提到了positivediscipline的doubter(质疑者),也提到了permissive一词,但是这些都是他人的观点,作者只是客观描述,与作者本身观点态度无关,因此这两个选项是错误的。故该题答案为选项[C]。
