If I reward my child He deffinately understands that he did something good, But I'm not sure if he grasps what he did because some of the time he doesn't do it again. But he is only 21/2 so I can't expect perfection. I we punish him, it depends on how harsh the punishment is for him to realize not to do it again. Unless he does something that can hurt himself, He always gets some amount of time in "Time Out", That usually curbs his action for that day, but he commonly repeats the behavior down the line. If he gets spanked for doing something really bad, he
doesn't do it again. I'm not advocating hitting a child, when he does get spanked it's not hard and he always has his pants and undies on, it more of the fear and shock that he just got snatched up and smacked that is the real deterant. It's all about having set boundries, and set punishments for each behavior. Consistancy always helps w/ the raising of a child

It all depends on that child's personality.
Rewarding (not w/ food or candy) is like encouraging them to keep doing good, but usually just a lot of praising and kind words is good enough and all they are really looking for anyway.
When punishing (by timeout or taking something away), they need to know what they did wrong. You cant just say your in trouble and not explain why, when the are told no to something or explained why they got in trouble they are less likely to do it a lot, they may do again just to see if your serious, being consistent is important. If your not then yes they will do it again, and yes getting away w/ something bad is always going to lead to more bad behavior. But they may not know its bad, a child's world is much more different than ours.

When my daughters do something right ,I reward them and they definitely understand that,so it encourages them to keep it up. However when they get punished for something I try to explain why they are being punished , so that they understand why what they did was wrong. That usually works.

Well my daughter is 2 going on 30(literally speaking) and when she gets too out of line i spank her but 2 secs later its the same thing so my advice is u have to start a pattern at an early age!!

You shouldn't ignore it because when they get out into the world the police won't ignore it.Whether you spank time out or whatever consistancy is key.You have to be firm and consistant.They will slip plenty but they will start making the right decisions.
