Children need to know their limits. I don't know what you're calling punishment but stay consistent with children. It helps them learn right from wrong.

Yes. Discipline may seem harsh, but the children that do not receive the necessary level of punishment come out spoiled and selfish. They demand a lot and lose all morals. Sometimes they can even grow up to be violent if they are not taught how much it hurts. Many children can develop empathy and those that are punished will refrain from doing bad things because they know the consequences. Many parents that I know who do not discipline their children have trouble making friends, usually, because they are demanding and rude to the other children.
They need to be taught to respect and disciplined children (not abused) will usually grow up to have healthy personalities. But keep in mind, start light with punishments and go a little harsh depending on what they did. Some kids are more sensitive than others so it depends on the kid and depends on what they did.
Children need to understand they can't get away with everything.

ah, yes. If you don't punish them for something they clearly did wrong, then eventually they will walk all over you and when they are older, they will be uncontrollable hell-raisers. The key to raising children is consistency. Do everything consistently. If they talk back--put them in time out. If they hit you--tell them why its not acceptable--then time out. You cannot tell them no for one thing one day then yes for the same thing the next. And keep your relationship with the other parent close. Make sure you both agree on what, where and how you punish your child. Children are excellent manipulators of parents when they are not communication with each other.

Reprimand them yes. Punish, No. Talk to them about what they have done. The main thing is to listen to them when they reply. Did they truely not understand that what they did was wrong. Explain at their level of age just why what they did was wrong. Ask them if they feel a reprimand is in order and what it should be. Most children I find misbehave trying to find out what the boundries are for their behaviour and to try and have some control over their life. Help them to gain that control while learning the difference between good and bad behaviour.

Punishment in an appropriate way translates into guidance. Research however indicates physical punishment teaches children that hitting is the way to control those who are smaller and more vulnerable than you. Abetter way to punish is to remove "goodies" that the child enjoys but also provide those "goodies " when the child does well. It's like, why you go to work or to school everyday...to get the "goodies."

Yes, because if you don't set rules and regulation, you're giving them an open chance to become, street goers, drug addict, etc.. We as parents are responsible for bring up our children's and setting good example and punishing them when they're doing wrong and that's the only way if we Love our children's.

Yes they do. But do not do it a lot or the child will become distanced from you. Your child also even lie to you and tell you things you want to hear because they are afraid. They might be afraid to tell you the truth because they might get punished.

yes but it depends on how you do the punishment...
discipline involves certain rules meant to be followed by the child.However,it also involves certain limitations on the part of the parent.No parent would want to raise a spoiled brat right?!, and certainly all parents have the duty to discipline their child..However,no parents has the right to deal unnecessary punishment such as beating.Otherwise that's not discipline anymore that's abuse..

Replace the word punish with reprimand and the answer is yes ...to instill values and prevent them from running into traffic.

When you discipline them it should be with the mindset that you are teaching the child an appropriate lesson and that good will come of the discipline. But I rarely think it is appropriate to spank a child.
