Do any dads punish their kids by locking them in a room or let them out for a while if they been bad?

Question

My dad been doing that. I wonder if is normal and common form of punishment

By letting them out for a while i mean kick them out in the back yard no way to leave but not to get in the house either.

Answer 1

I see nothing wrong with locking the door if it's a young child in time out who won't otherwise stay in his room for time out. But I'm only talking about for a few minutes with t e parent on the othe side of the door.
I bet this question is a joke. If not, you need to tell another adult what is going on. Being locked in the back yard or in a room with no way out is dangerous. What if there is a fire or an emergency???

Answer 2

Child abuse is the most up-setting subject I can think of!

Sounds extreme! Room punishment is common, but the locked door thing is a concern. Placing the child/kid in the back yard and not allowing them back inside may be an issue of abuse.

The age of the child and rather or not the dad's actions could be construed as aggressive while administering this punishment?

If the child/kid is being deprived, rather than punished, or harmed in the cause of the punishment then it is "child abuse" and not punishment.

Many parents differ in their methods of child punishment. To differentiate between the two is should be established if the child/kid is being physically or emotionally harmed.

If your dad is doing this to YOU, then obviously you are old enough to communicate this to teachers and relatives. If he is doing this to your younger siblings then you still have the means to let someone know.

Measures of punishment for children are handed out with "one minute per year of age" thus a 3 year old gets 3 minutes of time out. Say in the corner, or in chair somewhere, sitting on the step, or some place that they can still be observed and monitored. As the child/kid ages appropreiate measures include: removal of games/toys/TV time, earlier bed times........to phone restriction and etc........

Don't allow yourself or anyone to be abused by a dad! If you are old enough to ask this question you are old enough to call for help!

Answer 3

No, I don't do that to my children. It doesn't sound right to me, but anyway, punishment should be according to the fault and age.

You don't say for how long or how old you are and what you did (I know that is none of our business but I am just trying to make sense out of it, if any).

I think the only way such a punishment may be reasonable would be if you are a young man who has been told not to smoke in the house and you did, for example, something like that... otherwise it would be abuse.

Answer 4

Whether it the Dad or Mum I find the most useful method for young children is the Time out. My 2 yr old niece when naughty has a time out corner she is sent to for 2 mins. I read once that you put the child in the time out for however minutes their age is eg 5 yo is 5 mins. Just an idea

Answer 5

No, that is not common & not a normal form of punishment. You need to talk to a teacher, counselor or child protection services worker. This is abuse!

Answer 6

by locking the child in the room do you mean that they arte unable yo get out? that is against the law. how about a time out, time outs vary by the childs age ex: 5 years old 5 minutes, 10 years old ,etc. hopefully your dad knows better!
