Fravia's Messageboard ~ Moderated Reversing peer pressure

Studies from the psychology of gambling tell us that intermittent positive reinforcement is the best method for ensuring a desired behavior. So, compliment your daughter when she comes home early or when she dates a boy of whom you approve. Negative reinforcement such as yelling at her will just get her pregnant like M. Fravia says. It may sound cold to "program" your daughter's psychology like that, but it is better that you program her rather than her peers.
