When should children be punished?


Punishment is not the same thing as discipline. Discipline, a word that has at its root meaning "to learn or teach," does not mean punishing cursing, screaming or beating. It includes a set of rules for your children and setting clear expectations about their behavior. 
However, what do you do if you break the rules? When should children be punished? And in what way?
Although punishment is a very small part of the discipline, it is important to remind your child that has made the wrong decision and that it no longer works. The sentence is, thus, a method of correcting bad behavior and should be used as an exhaust valve for the accumulated rage and anger. Also, you must always keep in mind that punishment must be tailored to the child's age. The method of a single discipline to četvorogodišnjaku not be applicable for a fourteen.

From four to six years

In the fourth to sixth year, children in larger numbers, are still exploring the limits, testing their strength and our nerves. This is the period when you must "Sedam" spilling milk, roll in the mud before leaving the guests, laundry in the washing machine, the remote, use your married white gloves to play doctor, thrusting his hand in the ketchup and the like. These situations require correction, not punishment. With babies and small children up to three years is easy, disapproving stares or occasional strong word can serve as a way to discipline.
The best tactic to correct behavior for children over four years is compensation, reinstatement. If a child spills milk, must clean up after itself. If you break a plate, with their different behavior has to "earn", ie., Compensation costs. But surely you know the reaction when the child knows what is expected of him and is able to urates, but no! "I do not want and what we can do?" Some comfort your nerves is the fact that not a sign of defiance nevaspitanog, but completely healthy child who checks their borders. Do not fall for it! This is the time for "time out" or "send-offs."
"Time Out", which usually means ignoring the child's bad behavior, or place the child in the chair (in the style does not move until I tell you), is mainly found in preschool children in lower grades of school children, leaving them enough time to calm down.

From six to ten years

This age has greater control over their behavior and the power of a more sophisticated understanding of the rules and boundaries. Also, children this age are already ready to fight him, "Why me?", "Do you really sad?" Or "No, because ...".
One way to avoid unnecessary strain is to pre-define and point out how much you are willing to tolerate. Start with a clear and loud: "Mark, after the cartoon, train pajamas in bed". If you later find the small brand that curled up on the sofa watching TV on, it's time to jump into action.
Parental responsibility, and therefore the reaction must be immediate. You must not wait and react after a few hours or, God forbid, a few days. Only in this way will suppress disobedience, to avoid unnecessary wrangling with the child and the loss of nerve.
In this age method that gives more is that which points to the logical consequences if you do not listen. Refusing to listen to the parents to go to bed after a cartoon, Mark risking punishment for that day may not be able to watch TV and your favorite shows.
However, do not be prekruti, sometimes obey his fight, the "izvlakušu" If you were charmed (he will need those skills).
If the situation allows, the best learning is when a child learns only from experience. So, if you forget to write a task, do not you help him. Or if you accidentally forget to bring in equipment for physical education, do not run after him. Let them think and reflect on their responsibilities. After the warning, and probably will not feel very comfortable if it be before all the students, the second time will be more careful. Of course it will not allow your child to drink Domestos and ends up in hospital, but due to poor concentration and lack of responsibility in carrying out obligations, the consequences that will come out of it, will only make him more second thoughts.

From ten to fourteen years

Uh! Although mothers often described as the worst Three Year period, the onset of puberty may be worse. In addition to hormones work their child is growing and you can not just put that to sit at a table and ordered him to be quiet. Of ten can have attacks of aggression, eleven are grappling with the rules and restrictions, fourteen can make fun of the rules and values ​​within the family. However, resistance in the process of growing up is a normal phenomenon and attempts to avoid parental advice and opinions, are common.
Listen to your child and are looking for a way to reach a compromise. Do not put salt on my mind, but please be brief and clear. With his help, try to establish a code of conduct will have an effect.
The abolition of privileges that a child has, the best way of punishment for that age group. Do not let him go out at night, turn off the TV, or postpone it for a certain attitude towards the activity. For this method to be successful parents are obliged to explain to the child that his duties and responsibilities, and what it might be a reward or privilege for correct behavior.

Behaviors that may not punish

Bedwetting is a psychological reaction that is not within the conscious reaction and that will, depending on the praise or punishment to be reinforced or reduced.
Voice problems require professional help, a lot of independent practice, but it is undesirable that person to insult and belittle because such behavior does not contribute to the improvement and problem solving.
Accident was unforeseeable. Sometimes older children involved in some kind of housework such as cleaning, repairing or restoring, but it can happen because of some unforeseen negligence or carelessness.
Ratings: Kids should not be penalized if they do not bring home a full score, but they should be told that they need for better assessment of effort and learning, and it would be best if immediately after school written by task and repeated material, and then went out. If grades are a reflection neučenja, poor concentration, they should learn self-discipline rather than learning is practiced, which is not working. Problems involving special difficulties in learning to discern and resolve with the help of experts.
Lack of attention and hyperactivity can also cause problems. Such a child may have great difficulty in restraint and control of excess energy and learning from mistakes, even when there is a desire for resolution of such.Certainly, among other things, (including the use of drugs), it should be taught discipline and "train" behavior in order to survive in the world.
