Punishment needs to be a flexible thing, and should always depend on the child. Everyone is different, and responds to different things differently, THAT is why there is no rule book for parenting, and THAT is why you should be careful NOT to listen to the bleeding heart liberals who have answered your question so far. Learn to be cognicant of your childs behaviour, try to remember why you did the stupid things he or she is most definitely going to do. Start with mild punishments and keep on upgrading until you get the desired result, if it gets to the point where you have to put the kid in diapers? So be it. Children will always test their limits, and for the most part children start out lazy and need to be TAUGHT a work ethic. I have known children who wet themselves because they were too lazy or into what they were doing to go to the bathroom, my five year old daughter being one of them. We didn't have to actually put her in diapers to get her to stay aware of her "bathroom needs", but that was the next step, we threatened her that we would and she stepped into line. Parenting is difficult, and sometimes you have to do things you'd rather not do, but that child is your responsibility. Raise them right. Be strict. The world is becoming less and less a place for the kind of children our schools are producing with their "everyone gets a happy face even if they fail the class so they don't feel embarrassed" horse crap. Embarrassment is part of life. And you won't always be there to change their pants. Get the job done by any means neccesary.
Edit:
Kaylee the whole idea behind punishment and teaching yoour children IS that what you teach them "sticks with them forever" sheesh!
Andrea: Yes we under punish everyone in this country and look where we are now, crime is rampant and the police are hopeless because they bring the scum bags in just so the judges can let them go back on the street on a technicality.

No its not a good punishment. How did you feel when it was done to you? Humiliated? Upset? Did it make you feel like you were being treated fairly, with respect, or did you feel like you were being treated as a baby? And would you want your toilet trained child to go back to using diapers?
Not a good idea. Unless there is a problem with wetting, or dirtying, which is the only reason to go back to diapers, then NO.
And even then if its an older child, other things should be investigated first. Constipation can lead to wetting and soiling because of the pressure from the bowels. And diabetes or infection can lead to problems with wetting. Medical conditions should be ruled out firstly, and emotional issues secondly. Extreme stress and fear of new situations can lead to wetting, especially at night in older children.
But as a punishment - DIAPERS ARE OUT!

What do you think? Apparently not. Just think of it this way...What does this teach your child? Does putting your child into a diaper teach him anything? If the punishment does not suit the crime, do not dish out the punishment. Same goes for the united states right, we don't just kill people if they didn't kill people, sometimes we don't kill people even if they kill people. Just think about what the punishment will be teaching your child.

thats not a good punishment. if you punish your child like that YOU will be the one having to clean up after them if the diaper leaks or something and not to mention.. if you arent a baby a dirty diaper SMELLS so you're punishing yourself too.

if you think that is ok then something is wrong. i am 16 and i know that you shouldnt do that cause that is like beating your child bad because it sticks with them forever. they child can also get very ill and grow up having problems just because of what you did so think about it. that is not i punishment, a punishment is tell your child that they did something wrong and make them learn from their mistakes and love them.

umm wut were u being punished for? my mom was the most evil mother on the planet and she never even did that. if u r honestly thinking of doing that to ur child u dont deserve to b a mom. im sorry but that is mean and cruel. arent u supposed to teach ur child self confidence and security?...thats not the way to do it. if ur parents didnt have the patients or the right frame of mind to punish u the right way then they shouldnt have had kids...and if u do it to ur child u dont deserve them either

That is a horrible punishment! You want to raise strong, self confident children, not ashamed, embarrassed ones. Do your best to break the cycle of psychological abuse and be the best parent you can be.

It is a very degrading and inhuman punishment.
