子こ育そだてでは「褒ほめる」ことが大だい事じとよくいわれますが、私わたしはそれは少すこし違ちがうと考かんがえています。褒ほめるということは一ひとつの価か値ち判はん断だんであり、親おやが褒ほめるのは、より強きょう化かしたい子こどもの行こう為いであり、子こどもは親おやのその価か値ち観かんを刷すり込こまれ（注）ながら育そだっていきます。つまり、「褒ほめる」ということは、親おやから子こどもへの「命めい令れい」を含ふくんでいるのです。その意い味みにおいては、その行こう為いをするなという「叱しかる」行こう為いと同おなじと捉とらえることができます。

（小こ池いけ龍りゅう之の介すけ『平へい常じょう心しんのレッスン』による）

（注ちゅう）刷すり込こまれる:ここでは、身みにつけさせられる
