wicked!

The punishment is not too much but posting it online is too much. She is a child and she needn't be humiliated in a very public manner like this.

[b]Children listen more to words said with love and kindness, they relate more to the person they trust..

we should try to pay more listening to them, try to understand the circumstances behind their action because one thing i understand it.

"There is a circumstance behind every action"

why not make our kids trust us and not fear us, why make them be open to us instead of submissive.

it is wrong to threaten or coerce a child into submission with threat of violence or punishment.

Relating into the problems behind their actions will make you deal with your children more kindly, with patience and intense love.

Their love for you becomes the basis of adhering to the tenets of your teachings not their fear or coerced submission..

Any form of child beating or cruel treatment on a child is not correction but abuse, that child will not change because they want to change but only will end up having that fear as a basis for his/her submission.

Only kindness, patience, love and understanding can reach out into these young ones and only earning their trust will make them listen to you more their own self..

Not All... Some children will not blink an eye until they see 'Koboko'.. Not all children can be corrected with words everytime.
Just conduct a personal survey by being around them, then you will understand what I'm talking about.!

torture.... it could have a negative impact too.

Rather it is a mild form of punishment. I would call it trimmed. When she grows up smoking pot and stealing, then you'd recall you should have done better when she's still a kid...

johnydon22:
Beating a child doesn't mean she/he won't grow up to do what they want..

Look around you, is this not Nigeria? where we hold the ideology of punishing children..

why then is our society like this? why this level of moral decay? Don't they smoke pot and steal as you call it? why didn't the beating work magic?

Just this society is enough to show you that beating children is never a basis of their morality, they will still grow to be exactly as they want..

Beat them when you can they will get to a time when you cannot beat them anymore just shout and watch..

This should be enough to show beating or meting out cruel punishments on children has never solved the problem some rather compounds it because they get used to such abuse and it fans their rebellion rather than extinguish it..

K9blunt:
that's creative punishment

I like it.

FlySly05:
Personally I still believe that if you spare the rod you will spoil the child. Johnydon citing examples of his mates growing up to be no-do-goods doesn't stem from punishments as children but rather lack of monitoring and affection. Myself and I believe I speak for most NLs who were born and raised in the 80s were raised with iron-fist and we mostly turned out well.
I have a cane at home for my kids when they get outta line, it doesn't mean I'm a ruthless, mean father but rather it helps in "sculpting" them to be a better person to themselves and a productive member of the society.

ifyalways:
I don't like this idea of punishment or correction, whichever applies but I have no opinion on how another deals with his/her ward.

Second of, Posting it online with the childs picture is not cool, IMO.
