Re: Topic 4 DQ 2
Hello Dr. L and Class,
I think that what is more important for a parent in directing a child’s behavior is what they do. Our reading states
that a child should be corrected or awarded when they are doing something good or bad. In my personal
experience when I tell my kids to do something sometimes they do not do it, so just telling them to do does not
work. Like our reading said we have to reward them when they are good or punish them when they are bad. Even
though some of the good rewards are bad and some of the punishments are good. If I punished my child for
behaving badly in school then he will likely behave well the next time. If I reward him when he behaves well then
he will most likely behave well every day so that he can get rewarded. As a parent is my job to discipline my child
when he/she gets out of hand, so correcting them when they are wrong or rewarding when they are good is
important in a child’s life.

Re: Topic 4 DQ 2
Hello Dr. L and class,
Based on what Grison and Gazzaniga (2019), explained operant conditioning is a type of
learning that helps change behaviors through positive or negative consequences after the
behavior is presented. As a parent myself, this form of directing a child’s behavior is more
efficient. A child is more able to learn good behaviors, after learning the consequence of bad
behavior as it stimulates the child’s memory to not repeat the bad behavior. In my own
experience by rewarding my son when there is good behavior and correcting a bad behavior with
a consequence (losing the privilege of something he wants or wants to do), has made a
connection in his brain that it is better to have good behaviors and be rewarded, as well as it is
helping with his development.
Respectfully,
