Punishment of Children, what kind at what age for what? What are you doing out there?

Answer 1

Punishment? I've never needed to punish. Teach.Teach.Teach.Children need to face consequences for actions, but only after they understand what they need to know.For example, if it is 45 degrees out and they don't want to wear gloves, then tell them their hands will be cold and let them do it.But, if it is 18 degrees and the child is not capable of understanding the consequences, then your parental responsibility plays into this. You will need to enforce that the gloves stay on. But, punishment,NO! If your child is screaming in a restaurant, you don't punish. You simply remove the child to the outside and stay with them, explaining that poorly behaved children are not welcome in that enviroment, so they will need to stay outside until they can behave more appropriately.After being removed a few times and seeing that they get no visible signs of your backing down from the guidelines you are setting, then they will choose to behave. Let natural consequences be the rule, but still insist on good behavior. Good Luck

Answer 2

My child will get punished for lying, stealing, physically hurting others and if he/she thinks they are grown enough to disrespect me. These things may get them hit, but not with a belt or any other object.

Things like sucking their teeth, rolling their eyes and snapping at me...will get them back slapped!

Little things like not cleaning the room and not doing homework and not doing things around the house, would get them spoken to.

I believe that there should always be some form of physical disapline. Those who don't at least hit on the butt or hand every now and then, are the one's who are asking for trouble. Those are the one's who's kids end up beating them up.

I do not think that kids should be hit with objects, that is abuse. Those people that abuse their kids are the one's that their kids end up putting two bullets in their heads while they sleep.

Answer 3

When they are babys tell them no firmly and strongly. From the age of 3-13 warn them then spank them till the point gets across. 14-18 Ground them but for 14 and 15 spank then ground them. 16-18 take car, friends,and bf or gf.

Answer 4

Why is it that people are so dead set on defining discipline of children by punishment, rather than by praise and complement/reward when they're being good?

Most kids really do want to please their parents. Most kids are just over the moon if mommy or daddy praise them for something they've done, if they're told how much we appreciate good behavior. Praise, praise, praise. Say "thank you" when your kids do something nice. Tell them for no valid reason that you love them and you're blessed to have such wonderful kids. Let them know when they do things that make you happy or make life easier for you.

If you do that, you won't have to worry so much about punishment. Catch your kids in the act of being good, and tell them how happy that makes you. It beats punishing them when they're bad all hollow.

Answer 5

when my kids are good, i reward them by giving them whatever they want, books, toys, games, and the only chores they have is clenaing their rooms, etc. when they are bad or they're grades are falling like D's and F's i usually punish first, by the next progress report, if there's no change, that's when i spank them. Same thing if they are disrepecting their elders, talking back to the teachers, talking back to me or their grandparents.. trust mine was real bad, shoes, belts, extension cords, the clothing line rope, fist, hands whatever she had that was easy or handy to get to..ABUSE was her first, middle and last name..
