Should Children Be Taught to Obey?

Information articles
May 26, 2026

A child that listens to instructions, doesn’t act out in class, only speaks when spoken to, and does as they are told is easier to parent and “a pleasure to have in class”. But is teaching children to behave in that way really helping them or could it hold them back in the future?

Psychologists have been studying this question for decades, and there are still many nuances that need to be clarified, but we have compiled the most prevalent research on the subject. Swipe to find out what the experts consider to be the optimal approach ➡️

At ABI School, we take the research on the subject very seriously and rely on it for the development of our pedagogy. As a school that is focused on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) education, we believe in helping children develop adaptability, collaboration, and intrinsic motivation — qualities vital for innovation and resilience that will help the new generation create a future we can all be proud of and be the best versions of themselves. 💙
