Briefly identify and explain some of the negative aspects of using punishment to guide children’s behavior.
What will be an ideal response?
Numerous studies have shown that physical punishment increases undesirable behaviors such as aggression because it models the very behavior it is intended to discourage. Punishment emphasizes what the child should not do, without giving any indication of what the desired behavior is; it is a one-time rather than an ongoing occurrence; it focuses on obedience rather than on development of self-control; it undermines self-esteem; and it makes a decision for the child rather than allowing the child to think through a solution. Children will also learn to dislike and avoid those who punish them.
