To set limits it is not necessary to punish

psychological punishment in children

branch

There are parents who do not want to punish their children because they consider that it is not right to do so, that it does not educate them and that it is not a correct form of discipline, and this is true! Punishments lead nowhere. Although there is always a "but" in this. It is true that punishing is not a good idea but children must learn that there are consequences for their actions.

A punishment is not a good idea because it usually has to do with imposing the will of the adult when the child has done something that is not considered appropriate, but nothing is discussed or reflected with the child. The punishment seems to only serve to treat the anger of the adult and in the minor it only generates resentment and emotional blockage. For all this, punishment will always be a bad idea.

Instead, consequences are necessary in raising children. Consequences teach children that they are able to understand what has gone wrong and to seek solutions together with adults so that the same does not happen in the future. Children have "the power" to make the decision to do what is right instead of what is wrong. Adults have anticipated and warned them what the best or worst behavior is, what the rules and norms are, and what the consequences of breaking the rules are. The child chooses the best option for him at all times and if he decides to break rules, he will know that he will have negative consequences for doing so.

By feeling the power of decision, the child will not have the need to attract the attention of the parents, because they will also feel safe and protected under the rules. You will feel that your parents are in control and therefore that everything is going well. When this is understood by both adults and children, everything changes for the better within a home.
