Question

Sasha, a 3-year-old girl, was having difficulty settling down at bedtime. she ran around her house, trying to make her parents catch her before getting into bed. sasha's behavior awakened her baby sister, asleep in the next room. john, sasha's father, felt pushed to his limit and he screamed at sasha to stop and threatened her with a spanking. what is sasha most likely to learn from repeated experiences like this one?

Answer 1

I feel she won't ask again because she will be afraid of the result if she does that again. As a three year old, I think she'd be too young to understand the entirety of what she did wrong, but even then it's too harsh of a punishment.
