Interviewer instructions
This question is specially designed to measure various ways in which parents discipline their children. It is important that you ask this question in a neutral way - do not let your voice reflect approval or disapproval of the discipline method mentioned. It is important to mention that we are interested in knowing only about what may have occurred during the past month - the 30 days preceding the survey. When asking this question, remind the respondent, from time to time, that you are asking about the last 30 days or one month, and that you are interested if the respondent or anyone else has used this method with the child.

When a child does something wrong, some parents/caretakers try to teach the child not to repeat the behaviour by explaining why they consider the behaviour to be wrong. For example, a young child playing with matches may be told not to do so, because he/she could accidentally start a fire.

Circle '1' for 'Yes' and '2' for 'No' in this question.
