Details
In the classic book Controls from Within, Fritz Redl and David Wineman described methods to help children internalize self-control through structure, expectations, and engagement with positive adults and activities. When problems occur, these become opportunities for learning and growth. But many programs still focus on enforcing rules instead of building controls from within. Zero tolerance in schools, point/level behavior modification in group settings, and mandatory sanctions in juvenile justice provide ritualized behavior management but work against genuine behavior change. Non-relational schemes substitute coercion for communication. When behavioral problems trigger automated systems of control, the effect is also automatic: adversarial climates where youth evade adults and form peer countercultures. This issue provides powerful positive alternatives. Guest editor is Dr. Karen VanderVen, Professor of Psychology and Education at the University of Pittsburgh.
