Question: "Should kids get punished if they tell ties?"

When Pretty was little, I spanked her bottom for being naughty. After she got a little bigger, I had a talk with her. She cried more when I was disappointed in her behavior than she did when I paddled her. *sigh*

I think it's okay to punish a kid if he misbehaves. But still, you have to look at boundaries.

No corporal punish no

M father was against corporal punishments, Mom spanked my brother time by time, I was a good girl.

It depends with the type of punishment. Some punishment are demoralizing

I am very clear about boundaries that children have to follow. I put it politely and firmly. And they should know the consequences if they fail to follow it. But I am strictly against corporal punishment or any sort of verbal abuse. I don't believe in rewards or punishment.

Being Asian, I am pretty used to see such punishment. At least we learn not to do it again. I guess different culture does thing differently. So they probably would oppose on how we raise the kids.

I do punish my son not a daughter when he does something which we ask him not to do. It's always good to punish kids otherwise they would repeat their mischiefs.

I remember doing that with my kids when they were still young because that could not be helped. But as they grew, they matured. Kids now are different from the kids before, if you get what I mean. Corporal punishment does not work a lot of times.

I haven't been beaten in my childhood. I was made to understand stuff. I think that's the way to treat children. Violence isn't an option. Have a good day. Take care

it really depends. Lies of omission require intent. if there is intent then yes punishment! Lies of intent with deception, yes. lies from lack of knowledge, or failure to understand - no.

Here in Africa people don't know punishment s they can beat children,as they to be taught and sensitized about children rights

I think don't be hit or scolded excessively, just give the understanding that lying is not good and will harm yourself and others

It's my side story....

When I was a kid, I would be punished by a belt applied to my butt. Other times I would be punished like you, not allowed to go out of the house. It depended on what I had done.

We were punished by doing household chores when we were naughty as children.

The loss of corporal punishment, I think, has a lot to do with what has gone terribly wrong in this world, with full grown adults practically afraid of their own shadows. Where people are offended by pancake syrup. Where people lose their minds in uncontrollable hysteria over certain images. It is pure madness. As for punishing a child for lying in general, I think we all know that there are times when stretching the truth a little bit is actually a good idea and necessary. For example, no matter what I think of what my wife is wearing I am likely to tell her she looks just fine. No matter how much of a jerk my boss is, I might refrain from expressing EXACTLY what my true thoughts are. But that being said, outright lying should not be encouraged. And outright lying is quite a bit different than stretching the truth, and one should know and understand the difference. Did you spray paint the cat? If your fingertips have paint on them and the cat is clearly blue, then lying and saying you had nothing to do with it is an outright lie and should not be allowed or encouraged, and is a lie for which there should be some consequence.

I am kinda conservative. Spare the rod spoil the child. But this one is applicable reasonably
