The Simplicity of Punishment:

An Annotated Bibliography

Thesis statement: Although giving children no punishment at all may be a simple option for the

parent, guardian, or teacher, I argue that if you punish a child through verbal, corporal, and

withdrawing privileges they will be more responsible and mature.

The article “Responding to Minor Misbehavior Through Verbal and Nonverbal Responses” was

written by Jeanne Dhae. The article’s main purpose is to inform and show data on the effects of

two levels of intervention that will help address students’ behavior. The article goes into detail

about the method, participants, and procedures used in the tests. It provides example of what is

considered level one interventions and level two interventions. Then, it lists results after the

hypothesis are tested for six weeks. I will use the quote "I am working out the problem with you.

We are a team and you are responsible for your own behavior” as an example of verbalized

communication with a child (4). This supports the sub-argument that verbal punishment can lead

to a child being more responsible and mature. The article is about 5 pages in length, and the

The article “Discipline: A Guide for Parents” was written by Gregory K. Fritz, M.D. The

article’s main purpose is to give guidance to parents on how to discipline their children. The

article explains how delaying children’s privilege can be an effective way for a parent to

discipline their child. The article gives examples on physical punishment, taking away privileges,

and even positive reinforcement. The article gives a great example of delaying a privilege as a

form of punishment: “if a child breaks the rule about where he or she can go on his or her bike,

take away the bike for a few days” (2). I will use this article for this essay to explain how

guidelines can help a parent discipline their children in a better way. The article was published

out of Brown University (an IV league school), and the author has an M.D. and is a doctor, so

the article seems to be credible enough to use as a support piece of research for my essay.
