Many parents often ask themselves the question: how to punish correctly so as not to harm the child's psyche? Physical punishment is considered inhumane, but a word can cause significant harm. The topic of methods of punishment in the process of education is always relevant. Physical abuse is denied because it only generates many fears in the child, and not due respect for the parents.
Still, children should be punished because this forms in them a clear idea of what is allowed and what is not, as well as an understanding of what is good and bad. But this must be done correctly.
It is unnatural to limit the biological needs of the child. You cannot leave him without lunch or dinner, and even more so all day to force the child to do only lessons.
Something like a set of rules should be created. It will spell out the penalties applied to certain types of violations (from minor to serious) on the part of the child. And of course, you need to bring them to the attention of the child.
Parents must be fair so as not to lose authority and respect, otherwise the child may harbor resentment against adults.
If there is more than one child in the family, then the penalties for all should be the same, without exception, otherwise one of the children may develop an inferiority complex.
If the parents promise to punish the child for any action, then you must definitely keep your word, because in the future the child will not take your words seriously.
In no case do not hang labels on the child and do not call him names - this degrades the dignity of the baby.
Never yell at a child. Children tend to attract the attention of adults with their actions and deeds. Therefore, just calmly explain to the baby that no one will communicate with him if he continues to misbehave. High-pitched conversation or yelling can cause the child to close in on himself. It is necessary to be a friend to the child so that he knows with whom he can share his innermost thoughts and desires. Try to use restriction of movement in punishment: put in a corner or sit in one place. And in a situation of punishment, one must know that punishment should not undermine the authority of the parents in the eyes of the child.
Replace the phrase "you are bad" with "you did a bad thing." So the child will understand that he is still loved, despite his actions. You can't punish yesterday's bad actions.
