Parental Disciplinary Techniques
Parental use of disciplinary techniques is an important area for child custody assessment. Few evaluators, however, conduct the kind of in-depth examinations that shed light on the parents' use of disciplinary techniques and those techniques' effects on their children. We believe that in a contested custody case, it is important for evaluators to examine systematically how parents use disciplinary techniques, and equally important for attorneys to hold evaluators responsible for investigating these techniques by thoroughly examining all the information presented in their reports.
In this article, “discipline” is defined as all parental behaviors intended to prevent a child from misbehaving or to correct a child's misbehavior (K.G. Van Leeuwen, A. Fauchier, M.A. Straus (2012). Assessing dimensions of parental discipline. J Psychopathology and Behavior Assessment, 34, 216 ' 231).
One of parents' primary responsibilities is to socialize children. Among the areas examined by child custody evaluators are the many ways parents help their children acquire the inter-personal, social, emotional, and cognitive skills necessary to become productive members of our society. Systematic examination of parental use of discipline tends to be overlooked by custody evaluators. A careful evaluation of how parents discipline their children is likely to reveal information critical for a best interest determination and its omission should be rigorously cross-examined.
