Parents of prosocial children tend to discipline them by

A) reasoning.
B) scolding.
C) spanking.
D) withdrawing affection.

Research suggests that parents who use reasoning and explanation to discipline their children are more likely to have prosocial children. This type of discipline fosters empathy and understanding in children, as they learn to see the consequences of their actions and how their behaviors impact others. In contrast, scolding, spanking, and withdrawing affection may lead to negative emotional reactions and may not be as effective in promoting prosocial behavior.
