I good friend of mine makes her younger daughter, who is 4 years old, make her stand in the corner as a punishment for misbehavior. Is this good discipline or bad discipline?

Its good discipline. When they do wrong your supposed to give them time out with no stimulation and standing with your face against the wall accomplished that. They used to punish us like that in school long time ago.

In my opinion, it would not be considered corporal punishment, due to the fact that nothing is physically being done to the child, depending on the amount of time they are forced to stand. If it is for longer than 15 minutes, the child's legs may begin to hurt, and therefore it would TECHNICALLY be considered as corporal punishment. Otherwise, no harm is being done, although a chair would most likely be preferred by the child. Now what your school did is corporal punishment.

I do this w/my kids and I found it worked very well. My rule was they were not allowed to talk or fuss in the corner if they did they got additional minutes added. They werent even allowed to ask if there time was up or to say they were sorry. This was their consequence for there actions and they shouldnt of done it to begin w/and a sorry was too late. I always reminded them that a true sorry meant they would never do it again and if they did they were not truely sorry to begin with. The time outs let them settle down and think what they had done. When the time out is over we would see what they had learn from the experience and discuss it.

Depends on the child, you have to find what they don't like the most and use that. For example, standing in the corner worked very well for me because I was a very hipe child and hated standing still, so it was all I could do to stand there and be still, I hated it! Another thing that worked for me when I was young, my mom would make me go to my room, which I hated being by myself so I would do almost anything not to go to my room! You just gotta figure out what works. As long as you aren't beating your kids, I think any discipline would be okay!

depends on the child if it works and gets the point across and there is no violence then I say it is a good thing, my son was told to stand in the corner because he goofed around too much when he had to sit down, so the next time he got in trouble he went straight to the corner and I said you can sit down he said no I like the corner better!!!

First tell the child to stop it. If he/she doesn't,make that child sit or stand in the corner giving the corner a name like ''nutty corner''. It really works!

Much better than spanking. I saw on the nanny show a naughty spot. ( bench, chair) 1 minute for each year of the child. Seems to work!

It's good if and for as long as it works :) If it doesn't or she has outgrown it, he may need to increase the time or start taking things away from her.
