Induction involves explaining to the child why their behavior was wrong and helping them understand how it affected others. This technique helps the child develop empathy and understand the consequences of their actions. It aligns with Chris and Pat's goal of teaching their children to be empathetic. Indulgence and power assertion do not teach the child to understand the impact of their actions on others, and spanking is a form of physical punishment that can have negative long-term effects.
