Alfie Kohn Quote
In my view, there are two fundamentally different ways one can respond to a child who does something wrong. One is to impose a punitive consequence. Another is to see the situation as a teachable moment, an opportunity to educate or to solve a problem together. The response here is not You’ve misbehaved; now here’s what I’m going to do to you but Something has gone wrong; what can we do about it?
