Many good parents feel that they have to punish their children once in a while. But other parents find that they can successfully manage without ever having to punish. A lot depends on how the parents were brought up.

If parents were punished occasionally for good cause, they naturally expect to have to punish in similar situations. And if they were kept in line by positive guidance alone, they are apt to find that they can do the same with their children.

On the other hand, there are also a fair number of poorly behaved children. The parents of some of them punish a lot, and the parents of others never do. So we can’t say either that punishment always works or that lack of it always works. It all depends on the nature of the parents’ discipline in general.

YES! it is important and necessary. punishment of discipline and teaching them to be responsible with their actions.

i really don't like punishing my child, though a little reprimand but its just talk

singlesober9 - February 23rd, 2011 6:11 AM

Kids must learn what's wrong and right. Grounding them is one way of punishment.

Cindy08 - February 23rd, 2011 9:32 AM

talk to them what is right and wrong, though i really don't agree on punishing but if its needed why not

punishment is needed. it is disciplining your child's attitude. it also affects their growth.

keisha01 - February 24th, 2011 6:58 AM

punishment is not really encouraged. It can bring trauma to the kid and might effect the development of the child.

Mrs. Smith - February 24th, 2011 6:59 AM

be it corporal or verbal punishment, it can be equally harmful to the child. Punishment can lead to abuse if not controlled.

a good conversation with your child is very important. your child needs to hear the explanation. right and wrong.

WandaKegg - February 25th, 2011 4:37 AM

as much as possible, don'r scold your child or yell at them in public. the child will understand better if parents will talk to them.

MamasBoy23 - February 25th, 2011 12:39 PM

i do believe in punishment. you don't have to let blood come out on their nose or skin. a child needs to be constantly reminded about right and wrong.

auburn_1980 - February 26th, 2011 2:20 AM

its not necessary, a little reprimand will do

Kr3m3rHop3 - February 27th, 2011 1:08 PM

Every child needs to be punish or corrected. We want our children to have good manners and character.

For some parents, punishment is a deep conversation. We sometimes ground them for a week and confiscate their gadgets or anything that they like.

i grew up being hit with a stick if i did smething really horrible, but only to a certain age. but i was fully aware of what i did and why i always get punished. though in will never hurt my kids physically.

BettyBop_20 - February 28th, 2011 5:18 AM
