This article discusses a study of children's perspectives on disciplinary conflicts with their foster parents. Most children accept parental authority, but they also defend their personal autonomy and loyalties to peers. In this study, only birthchildren told real-life stories about fierce resistance to get their own way. Fierce resistance among foster children was motivated by inner conflicts and confusion. Obedience among foster children often derived from fear of punishment or a feeling of impotence. The authors discuss the theoretical and pedagogical implications of these findings.
本文讨论了一项关于儿童对与养父母发生纪律冲突的看法的研究。大多数儿童接受父母的权威，但他们也捍卫自己的个人自主权以及对同龄人的忠诚。在这项研究中，只有亲生子女讲述了为达到自己的目的而进行激烈反抗的真实故事。寄养儿童中的激烈反抗是由内心冲突和困惑所激发的。寄养儿童的顺从往往源于对惩罚的恐惧或无力感。作者讨论了这些发现的理论和教学意义。
