Inductive discipline is able to form powerful scripts in children‟s minds partially because discipline encounters are so common among parents and children. A parent will discipline their child almost every 11 minutes when a child is one year old and around 50 times a day when a child is between 2 and 10 years old (Hoffman, 2000). Even if only ¼ of discipline encounters involve induction, that would amount to an average of 4000 inductions a year.
