Literature review 3

Porter.L. (2008) "Evidence about disciplinary practices" in R.Matheson (ed)Young Children's Behaviour Practical Approaches for Caregivers and Teachers, 3rd Ed., Maryland USA. Paul H. Brookes Publishing
I wanted to find literature on morality in children and this book has a small section within this chapter relating to "Research about the effects of guidance". The section discusses morality and states
                    With respect to moral reasoning, children are more willing  to listen and will develop more sophisticated moral thinking when their parents reason and negotiate with them rather than deliver lectures about their behaviour. (Walker et al. 2000).


This would definitely follow the modern theories about child discipline and the way that parents are supposed to bring up their children, but has this theory caused a lack of "good old fashioned discipline" which told a child immediately that their behaviour was unacceptable ? The author also continues by saying
                   Controlling discipline may achieve immediate compliance, but at the cost of undermining childrens' moral reasoning by fostering an external focus of causality (I'm only doing this because they made me) anger towards and rejection of the disciplinarian and rejection of their parents' standards (Kochanska et al.2003)


We were taught what was and was not acceptable as far as our behaviour and this instilled our moral values, so can this decline in "controlling discipline" be the reason behind some childrens' declining moral standards and their lack of deference?
I am hoping that my inquiry will help us to understand how these changes in discipline have affected the class culture that we need to create with in a dance lesson in order the achieve the best balance of enjoyment but good behaviour.
