What is the best way to punish your child for something he/she did?

hai myloters the best to punish a child to show more care and affection than hitting or beating he or she.if they have made their mistake unknowingly the best way is to encourage he or she saying that this is alright and do not make this mistake again.

If I had a kid, I would hit their hand and nowhere other than that. You don't want to damage their brain and you want to teach them that what they did with their hands were wrong. Or if they say something bad like a bad word put a drop of tobasco sauce in their mouth. As they grow older and if they are still bad, you shouldn't hit them anymore because words should hurt more than physical damage as they grow older. You just have to think about every action you execute I guess.

Well, speaking of parents disciplinary action to their children against what they committed against parents' well, I had a very bad and unforgettable experience that I almost left my parents. If you had tasted a spunk and received foul words I had an addition to that on myself, a heavy slapped on my face. It would be a long story If I would tell you the detailed story...That was before at my younger years. Nowadays, parents can't do it anymore because as what you heard and saw on our different means of communication, there were already parents killed by their sons and some heinous crimes committed by sons against their parents. Harsh disciplinary action could never win the mind of the child to follow...Thanks friend...

When I was a child my father sometimes hit me. He didn't do it that often, but it is one of my bad memories from my childhood. My father has a temper and sometimes he became angry really fast. If he was in a bad mood, I had to be extremly careful what I did and what I said. I have learned to be quiet in order to protect myself against his anger. Unfortuneately I became far too quiet and shy, and that has been a big problem in my life. I don't think that it is right to hit a child, and if I ever get any children I am not going to punish them that way.

I really don't know what the right way is to punish a child. I don't think hitting someone really teaches them anything except to lie and be sneaky. When I was little I also got the crap beat out of me, sometimes for nothing,this has been a lot of years ago, that was the way most people punished their children back then. You are right you learn from your parents, I also punished my children the same way. The only difference was my children didn't get a whipping everyday, they would have to do something real bad for me to whip them and I didn't cuss at my children. The reason that I say that it teaches a child to lie and be sneaky is because I can remember lying about somethings when I was little, because I knew what would happen if I told the truth. I'd get my butt tore up, that's what would happen!

I spent my childhood on my auntie's care, and during my childhood, I also experienced getting yelled at and being hit like you, I believe that punishing a child this way will just make him stubborn and hard-headed. Now that I'm married already and having two kids, I always make it sure that I give all the care and love to my kids, and whenever they made something wrong and I think they are needed to be punish, I talk to them and explain the wrong things they've done, and in order for them to remember this, I punish them by grounding them, like no tv for 1 week, or they cannot have somethhing they love. To discipline my kids, I always stick to my rules, when I said no, it should always be followed, dont break your own rules you made for them, or else they will find it useless and ignore the rules you made.

i used to give my kids whippings, but now it like a whole new way, if you whip your kids you get arrested, then are told you're not doing it right. my thing is if its a one of family kids or freinds and they are at my house i stick them in a coner. just having to find the way that works for you, like putting them in a coner, on the couch for time out, go by how old they are. so if they are five they give min. if they get off before that add another min, take away toys as well. if they play vedio games just take the controlers away and leave the rest this will drive them nuts

to punish the child for do something wrong firstly, we should be consistent.he/ she may be cute and begging to you stop but all the actions have the consiquences you need to be strong with that. we also make sure that child understoods that what did he/she do wrong.

When my kids(7 and 10 yrs old) do something really nasty I tell them to sit in the corner (we have designated an area in the house for this purpose), and the length of time will depend on the severity of the offense. They cannot talk to anyone, except when they need water or food. I also do not allow them to watch TV while under punishment. When the time is up I ask them first why they were made to sit there, ask them how the experience was. Then tell them if they do it again, they will sleep outside the house, and somebody might get them and turn them into beggars like the ones they see on the streets knocking on car windows to ask for alms. The latter scare them the most. Lastly, I tell them to say sorry to the ones they offended, and after that everything is back to normal. I can't say my way of disciplining my kids works best, but I believe it's better than physical punishment.

When I misbehaved when i was a child my parents would get me to sit on the couch and think about what they did wrong. By doing this the child is aware that they have misbehaved but they do not feel excluded from the family because they are still part of what is going on. The family is including the child but still teaching them a lesson because they cannot partake in the fun going on.

When I was a child I was spanked. Our punishments would be spanks on the bottom with hands/belts/wooden spoons, or slaps on the hand depending on the severity of our 'crime'. The difference in my family is that my father always made sure that he didn't spank us when he was angry. If we got his temper going he would leave the room until he had calmed down. Before we got the spanking he would talk to us, discuss what we had done wrong, make sure that we understood why what we had done was wrong, and explain to us the effect our actions had on others. After the talk we would have to face the consequence of our actions, the spanking. I think this was an effective way of punishing us and I have never resented it. The way dad handled these situations led us to think before acting, to fear the consequence of our actions when we were misbehaving, not him.

The punishment of children should always be to correct a behaviour and should never be demeaning to the child. When a child is disciplined, the message should always be "What you did was bad." It should never be "You ARE bad."

When our child make a mistake,of course as a parents we have to scold them in the right way,not keep slap or hit them. It won't works it that way. We have to tell them nicely what is their mistake and explain to them why they can't do it next time. Sometimes ,after we have reminded them, our child will still repeat the same mistake.Dun flare up!! It is not an easy task to educate our child...we have to stay calm n patiently while teaching them the right thing. As time pastby, they will slowly absord our good words and stop doing the mistakes and we can have a happy life together.
