Many Scientists believe that socialization takes a long process, while compliance is the
outset of it. Accordingly, compliance for education of children is the priority. Motivationally
distinct forms of child compliance, mutually positive affect, and maternal control, observed
in 3 control contexts in 103 dyads of mothers and their 26-41-month-old children, were
examined as correlates of internalization, assessed using observations of children while
alone with prohibited temptations and maternal ratings. One form of compliance
(committed compliance), when the child appeared committed wholeheartedly to the
maternal agenda and
eager to endorse and accept it, was emphasized. Mother-child
mutually positive affect was both a predictor and a concomitant of committed compliance.
Children who shared positive affect with their mothers showed a high level of committed
compliance and were also more internalized. Differences and similarities between
children's compliance to requests and prohibitions ("Do
〃
vs. "Don't" demand contexts)
were also explored. Maternal "Dos" appeared more challenging to toddlers than the
"Don'ts." Some individual coherence of behavior was also
found across both demand
contexts. The implications of committed compliance for emerging internalized regulators
of conduct are discussed.

A number of parents were not easy to be aware of the compliance
,
some even
overlooked their children's noncompliance. Despite good education,
these children did
not follow the words from their parents on several occasion 'especially boys in certain
ages. Fortunately,
this rate was acceptable; some parents could be patient with the
noncompliance. .Someone held that noncompliance is probably not a wrong thing. In
order to determine the effects of different parental disciplinary techniques on young
children's
compliance and noncompliance, mothers were trained to observe emotional
incidents involving their own toddler-aged children. Reports of disciplinary encounters
were analyzed in terms of the types of discipline used (reasoning,
verbal prohibition,
physical coercion, love withdrawal, and combinations thereof) and children's responses
to that discipline (compliance/ noncompliance and avoidance). The relation between
compliance/ noncompliance and type of misdeed (harm to persons, harm to property, and
lapses of self-control) was also analyzed. Results indicated that love withdrawal
combined with other techniques was most effective in securing children's compliance and
