Discipline of children can be accomplished by either using the carrot or the stick.
You've seen old movies, like the 3 stooges where they're riding an horse with a carrot on the end of the stick to lead the horse.
The carrot is the bait, which is encouragement, If that first choice does not work, then they used the stick to whip the horse.
But a creative parent, can think of 10 different ways to use a carrot, with the ever present reminder that there's a stick in the tool shed.
I find that the mere incidental, reminder that we do own a stick, is sufficient to motivate the child to take the carrot.
I think a fair punishment is 'fair'. In the past, I've typically asked my 5 year old(s) to do a certain task. I ask "and what happens if you don't do the task by 4:00pm"... the response, - "we get a spanking". They proposed it, they know it's 'fair' to execute, and I've never EVER had to invoke the 'punishment', - since they've proposed it.
.. works well for me and my kids.
FootNote:
As a modern epidemic, we've seen the results of "lack of discipline" ranging from anti-social behavior, no internal control mechanisms, and depression / suicide of teens, since the "world" doesn't "work" the way they think it should. Good discipline is part of a healthy diet for pre-adults, -don't neglect CHILDREN!

It's always a good option to discuss things with the child and make them realise why what they did was wrong, and always praise good behaviour and this would encourage better behaviour.
Child punishment is a terrible thing of course children need discipline and boundaries in order to develop the right from wrong theory. This is obviously why Nepal have a high rate of punishment, as children aren't learning therefore what good is it to punish them.
I hope this is changed as soon as possible children are our future and to learn punishment is the only method really isn't the best way forward to a peaceful world!!!!!!!
PLEASE STOP ALL CHILD PUNISHMENT

School discipline is a complicated issue bound up with the social setting of the school. Not sure how applicable it is to Nepal, but there is a lot of good advice on the teachernet website run by the Department for Education in England at http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/
Two things that 30+ years of teaching have taught me are that: the most badly behaved teenagers are often those children subjected to regular physical punishment in the home, and discipline based on fear or physical punishment often produces people who want to fight back and who will be responsible for a lot of bullying and vandalism.

The difference between discipline and punishment is the way in which it is administered. The disciplinarian makes sure that the child knows that the negative consequences are administered for the express purpose of correcting him/her and making them a better person. They are also assured that the measures used do not bring pleasure to the one administering them. Rather, the change in behavior is what brings pleasure to the disciplinarian.
All discipline or most could be conceived as being punishment, because it brings negative consequences. This is as it should be, because we don't avoid negative consequences in real life when we make bad choices.

Keeping disipline without punishment is a must. I have witnessed several families usuing physical disipline with their children & believe me it did not do those children any good whatsoever, in fact they became aggressive, violent & nasty individuals & I truely believe it was down to the physical supposed disipline they received as children. My children were never disiplined with physical practices i.e. smacking & my close friends have children that they have brought up without physical disipline & they are lovely young adults. So NO I don't think child punishment in such a way should be used under any circumstances. Love, Kindness & talking to tehm is the way it works well

It depends of the offenses committed by the children.If the mistake is not so big, why give him or her a punishment?I think, communication is important.Talk to her/him in a private place then he or she will listen especially to the parents.They should treat their children in a nice way.And if they think that their childrem made a mistake then they dont listen to their advice then maybe thats the time for them to have a punishment.We should also practice on how to become humble.Are you a Hare Krishna devotee?Your name seems familiar to me

Child punishment or child abuse? What exactly are you talking about?
In America, we put our kids in time out for a few minutes or else we take priviliges away from them such as : tv, computer, favorite toys, etc. You should never beat a child.

Time out or the taking away of privileges work well.The child should also apologise and explain why they need to apologise so that they can understand what it is that they've done wrong.
