is it ok to punish you child if?

Question

is it ok to punish you child if he has anger issue and put a whole in the wall with his head because he had a anger outburst am i doing the right thing by grounding him?

Answer 1

Of course it is okay to punish them. In fact, you would be remiss in your parenting duties if you failed to correct this behavior.

Answer 2

What good is punishing him by grounding him? Does he have anger managment with a therapist? If not he need to get some. I dont think it will be effective "grounding" him. How old is he you didnt mention that?? Where did he see that? Good Luck to you--- Sounds like he needs help beyond what you can give him. Perhaps he needs to fix the hole and pay for the cost of fixing it out of his own money. Give him the supplies to fix it if he is old enough. That behavior can lead to more worse things. All the best to you--

Answer 3

The right thing would be is to GET HIM HELP outside of the home NOW before its too late for him and your entire family! Im not saying he is a bad kid- but totally has alot of anger issues and needs help finding out why and how to control them without ummmmm using his head and the wall! Talk with his doctor and find him help ASAP. No matter what they do need punishment and restrictions or it will only get worse! Good luck to u

Answer 4

Get help... before he does himself or others serious damage..


this is NOT a punishment issue

This a serous thing Im saying to do...

At least the anger was focused into the wall and not into you or others it showed some control.

Make sure he can't pick anything up if in this state like a knife or may just lash out without control and sriously hurt or kill you or himself without really wanting to

Answer 5

Of course you are, but in the long term, I think he's going to need some counselling and anger management. Anger issues need to be solved with more than just punishment, and they can progress quickly from self hurting, to hurting others. I would recommend a anger management therapist. It will be good for him in the long run.

Answer 6

Yes it's OK to ground him. You need to get him some help by taking him to a therapist so he can talk about his problems and learn some relaxing tips when he gets angry. Biofeedback might work to if you have 150.00 to 300.00 to spend every week. It teaches him to become calm and know how to control his anger before it gets to the point of an outburst. Also you need to make him save and pay to fix that wall cause that's your house you set the rules.If he can get upset and damage it he can pay to fix it.

Answer 7

At no age is it acceptable for a child to act that way. If it happens again, make the punishment worse. If you don't stop his behavior now, you will have a holy terror on your hands in a few years. I agree with the first Answerer - if he doesn't respect you, he should fear you.

Answer 8

Personally, I would get some anger management going on there. Don't ground him..maybe make him pay for it?

Answer 9

Yes that is the right thing but you should tell him every time he hit his heaqd on the wall that is another week he is grounded

Answer 10

I'd make him fix it. If he can't afford it, he'll be working it off until he can. Then once he's done that he could repaint the entire room (over and over again if need be) until I'm happy with it.

He'll never destroy the place again.

Now you can send him to anger management.

Answer 11

Sounds like you need to do a LOT more than ground him, like take him to counseling and get him some real help. Thats not normal.
