BSAC Handout #7
Life With The Wright Family
One day the Wright family decided to take a vacation. The first thing they had to decide
is, who would be left at home, since there was not enough room in the Wright family car
for all of them. Mr. Wright decided that Aunt Linda Wright would be the one left at
home. Of course, this made Aunt Linda Wright so mad, that she left the house
immediately yelling, “It will be a cold day before I return.”
The Wright family now bundled the children, Tommy Wright, Susan Wright, Timmy
Wright, and Shelly Wright, and got in the care and left. Unfortunately, as they turned
out of the driveway, someone had left the trash can in the street, so they had to turn
right around and stop the car. They told Tommy Wright to get out of the car and move
the trash can so they could get going. Tommy took so long that they almost left him in
the street. Once the Wright family got on the road, Mother Wright wondered if she had
left the stove on. As they turned right at the corner, everyone started to think of things
that they might have left undone.
No need to worry now, they were off on a right fine vacation. When they arrived at the
gas station, Father Wright put gas in the car and then discovered he had left his wallet
at home. So Timmy Wright ran home to get the money that was left behind. After
Timmy left, Susan Wright started to feel sick. She left the car saying that she had to
throw up. This of course got Mother Wright’s attention and she left the car in a hurry.
Shelly Wright wanted to watch Susan Wright get sick, so she left the car too! Father
Wright was left with Tommy Wright who was playing a game in the backseat.
With all of this going on, Father Wright decided that this was not the right time to take a
vacation, so he gathered up all of the Wright family and left the gas station as quickly as
he could. When he arrived at home, he turned left into the driveway and said, “I wish
the Wright family had never left the house today!”
Taken from “Activities that Teach” by Tom Jackson
Directions: Form one or two circles depending on how many people are in your group
or the amount of space you have. Everyone should have something in their hand to
pass. Tell the group you will read them a story about the Wright family and that they
should pass the item either to the right or left when they hear the word in the story.
BSAC Handout #8
PUNISHMENT VS. DISCIPLINE
PUNISHMENT
Expresses power of personal authority
Is usually painful and is based on retribution or revenge
Is arbitrary, usually depends on the mood of the adult
Is imposed, that is it is done to someone
The responsibility is assumed by the punisher
Means the options for the individual are closed
Is often negative and short term, no cause for personal improvement
Is open or concealed anger
Is easy or quick
DISCIPLINE
Is based on logical consequences
Places the responsibility on the “behaver”
Keeps the options open
Is an active teaching process, that is discipline emphasizes teaching a person a way or ways to act that will result in more successful behavior.
Is friendly
Is harder and more time consuming in the short run, but is more effective and easier in the long run.
Seven Caring Habits Seven Deadly Habits
