The "hot stove" rule is sometimes used to illustrate the principles of fair, effective discipline. Which of the following principles illustrates the principle of discipline carrying a clear warning?
• The "hot stove" rule compares discipline to what happens when you touch a hot stove. • One part of good discipline is that people are warned in advance what will happen if they break a rule. • Look for the choice that emphasizes knowing the consequence before acting.
• Which option focuses on the idea that the person is already aware of what will happen if they touch the stove? • Which choices are more about when it burns you, or who it burns, instead of warning you ahead of time? • Ask yourself: which statement is about predictable consequences that are understood beforehand, not just punishment itself?
• Identify the option that highlights advance warning rather than speed or fairness of punishment. • Eliminate answers that describe immediacy or impersonality instead of warning. • Choose the statement that best matches: "the rule is clear, and everyone knows what will happen if they break it."
