The reading passage describes the three important strategies of disciplining children and their effectiveness and consequences. Whereas, the lecturer relates the strategies of discipline with the self esteem of a child. Also he points out which strategy is the most effective and which one is least effective.
First of all, the passage claims the power strategy to be commonly used to make the children show desired behaviors, however the professor point it out to be the least effective strategy with the consequence which leads to develop a low self-esteem in a child. In addition, he states that this strategy is very often opposed by psychologists.
Secondly, the second strategy that the reading passage names as withholding of affection is contrasting with the lecture. According to him discipline means " to teach" and punishment means " to harm" . Hence the withholding of affection is also a negative approach that affects behavior of a child. That means the child may think that good behavior leads to affection and bad behavior causes punishment. So the withholding of something desired object may lead to lowered self esteem.
Finally, the professor expresses the management technique to be the best of all strategies in the passage. As he contrasts this technique with the power technique in the beginning and emphasizes that the management technique causes a higher self esteem in a child that is based on explaining and reasoning behind a behavior and the child is disciplined by praising good behavior.
