matify: Moderation should be exercised in dispensing corporal punishment to our children.

They must be made aware of why they are being punished and should also be rewarded when they exhibition good behaviours.

By so doing, the good in them is reinforced while the bad is repressed.

I punish my child with love even though I am pained doing so but afterward I lavish him with uncommon love.

This was one of the first few comments.
Great response.





Reward systems work amazingly well. Who wouldn’t prefer positive reinforcement to punishment? I teach special needs children. Some of them can be extremely difficult. There are nonviolent techniques that work wonders for these kids. I’ve also taught in a general education classroom and discovered that those same techniques carry over to children without intellectual disabilities. Rewarding is a very effective tool when teach children in any capacity; at school or at home.


In my school corporal punishment is illegal without parental consent. I personally do believe corporal punishment has a place in raising a child, but I agree it should be used in moderation and in most cases as a last resort. My only caveat would be that not all children are the same. Some children only respond to corporal punishment. There are also children who do not respond to it at all. It is important to know your child.

yousee: I am totally in support of corporal punishment.
Modified and upgraded to suit the times.
Take away from the child that one thing he/she loves best and rather channel them to other activities.

My punishment those days was "read this book and tell me the story when i return from work"
That was so bad at first, cos i wanted to run the streets and play ball with my neighbours.
Well, long story short, i fell in love with the African Writers Series at a very young age and it really helped shape me.

This obviously worked for you. I do worry though that this type of punishment can be a two edged sword. As a teacher I weep for the children who refuse to read outside of the punishment they receive. I love reading. Growing up I found joy, adventure and knowledge in books. I weep for what is lost to the children who grow to hate reading because they see it as punishment.

As parents we need to be careful that the punishment does not undermine positive feedback.
