The functioning ofthe foster family is based on the use of a variety of educational methods, among which animportant place is occupied by the system of rewards and punishments.

Punishments used are pedagogical ones such asexplanation, interpretation, and not pedagogical ones such as shouting, warning, prohibitions,bans on leaving the room or the house, picking up material things.
