Often disipline and punishment are used synonymously. However, there is a difference. That difference plays a big role in the kind of person each child becomes.
Discipline works better than punishment if you will do the following:
- prevent problems by establishing rules of behavior
- demonstrate coping skills – children react the same way you do
- prepare a good environment – free of danger, toys accessible
- schedule events with the child’s needs in mind
- provide constructive, engaging activities so the child is not bored
- be consistent and fair about rules
- distract children from potential problems
- remind children of rules
- help children solve problems and make choices
When children are disciplined, they are shown positive alternatives rather than just told ‘no’. Good behavior is rewarded. Children who are disciplined feel successful and in control; children who are punished feel humiliated, and hide their mistakes. They tend to be angry and aggressive, and fail to develop self-control. They need to feel loved and respected if they are to become kind, confident, and considerate adults.
