Learning vs. Compliance...a change in behavior doesn't always mean that learning has occurred

I learned a lot in this section of the class. I really like the distinction between compliance and learning. Learning is more that just a change in behavior. I think that this is going to be the challenge in parenting, at least for me. I think that it's going to be so easy to give in to our desires to either over pamper our children, or to punish them in order to change their behavior. I think that this is mainly due to a lack of perspective. Instead of looking down the road and seeing that compliance will only change behavior if someone is there to inforce it, we see the present where our children will finally be forced do what's best for them. And the thing is that we want their behavior to change because we love them, not because we want to boss them around. But that's why it's so important to be educated on effective parenting so that we can effectively show our love for them by teaching them, not just changing behavior.
