Child training method
Through this method every cultural group tries to
produce group members whose personality pattern
confirm to the standards of the culture.
It will depends upon the values and attitudes.
Identification
This method is also called learning by imitation.
It is the process by which a person takes over the
values of another by imitation.
Unlike child training method, it is self initiated
Kinds of child training method
Authoritarian:-This method are characterized by the use
of strict rules and regulation. It is done out of fear of
punishment or scolding
Democratic:- It emphasis the need for discussion,
explanation and reasoning. Punishment is given in
extreme cases and that too very mild. It emphasis on the
educational training of children by explaining them why.
Permissive:-This method are not actually child training
as it permits children to learn what they wish to from the
consequences of their acts. The young learn more by
trial and error rather by guidance.
