no real difference in the meanings of the words, but some people , think all punishments must have a physical pain you enforce the punishment, like with spanking , and this is the punishment for the crime, wrong deed, mistake, slip up...what ever you want to call it. but the punishment should fit the crime, and the age of the child, and they should always be told why they are being punished,,and for how long... ( always have a time limit) and when enforcing punishment never do it while you are angry, and always let the child know you love them no matter what they do but they will have to be punished for their unacceptable actions

Discipline occurs before wrongdoing. If proper discipline (ie: a disciplined athlete) is exercised, punishment is not necessary. Punishment occurs after wrongdoing and shows either lack of discipline, or something kin to stupidity (or in the case of a child, stubbornness). :-)

Discipline is when I hit them with the whip. Punishment is when I don't.

Discipline is training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character.
Punishment is a penalty inflicted on you if you stray from your discipline!

The confusion is your wording. You don't make sense.
