SACRED SANCTION - Sense and nonsense of punishment in parenting and education 

 

Where evolutionary theory, history, education, (ortho)pedagogy, philosophy and anthropology meet, the sense and nonsense of punishment in parenting and education is thoroughly analyzed. The difference between punishment and sanction is clearly explained by means of a comprehensive historical study of punishment as a pedagogical and educational method. Why is there so much controverse about punishment, while it has been lasting for centuries? You can find the answer on this question in this book.

​

And what about rewarding? There is a lot of misunderstanding on this too. And is sanctioning not the same as punishing? An etymological perspective gives us a clue on this. It makes clear that sanctioning is a fascinating communication process that aims for connectedness. Each behaviour gets its meaning and sense with connectedness as the standard.

​

Everyone who is involved and responsible for parenting and teaching children finds a useful guide about organization, group dynamics and individual relations by means of this book.

 

And since our society is the result of how we raise our children, this book will make you reflect on how we form our community.
