parenting yet again

Emotions - Nature
Expression - Instinct
Magnitude/Ways to express - Temperament

Step 1
understand and accept children as they are

Step 2
"Behavior Modification" - to nurture socially acceptable behaviors

1. Pavlov's Classical Conditioning. SR theory. Stimulas-Response.
Parents: intervene in Stimulas to create desireable "Response" from children
2. ABC Theory. Antecedant-Behavior-Consequences
Parents: positive/negative feedback in consequences to reinforce/discourage behavior

o-kay...
so basically, parents should understand children and accept them the way they are, even when they are not what parents expect.
We try to modify their behavior, not by changing them, but by... erm... modifying the environment?
