Here, silence comes in different
forms —
as punishment meted out by a frustrated child to their parents whose rules they
perceive to be unfair;
as the result
of a physical condition that could well be the deciding factor in whether a character lives or dies;
as the gut - wrenching aftermath
of something or somebody lost.
Diana Baumrind supports the occasional use
of spanking
as a
form of discipline and states that her research has shown no negative long - term impact on children if the
punishment is delivered within an authoritative style where the child does not
perceive the action
as harsh or cruel.
