Do you think children should be disciplined or punished by their parents for their mischief or unusual acts? (Page 2)

[I_am_a_smart_human]

Disciplined yes!!! But not punished by hitting. There are several ways to punish. Like when I was kid, my mom would stop talking to me if I do something wrong to teach my lesson but she won’t beat me.

Ultimately child need guiding towards acceptable behaviour that will better allow them to function in an adult world. Part of that guidance may be persuasion, part may be sanctions.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No point, if you want them to not act stupid, teach them to be smarter. Either they will learn from it, or nothing will work,

[Mynameisbobby]

Of course they do! How else will they learn to be a better person. They need to have accountability for their actions. Just like everyone else.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. Teach them early in their youth their foolishness, stupidity and disrespect won't be tolerated so that way you won't have to put with their garbage when they get older.

[Syrian_survivor]

No they should do whatever they want with no punishment so they grow up to be sociopaths that nobody likes and everyone avoids

[Iron_Man]

It all depends what they have done sometimes grounding somebody they don’t care about that they’ll just play on the computer in their bedroom anyway

[RenegadeSailor]

Unstructured undisiplined and uncoachable children make for shitty adults.

[misterCage4]

Yes. Even if it means they would take a bit of spanking but only if they insist on being defiant

[Yaharro]

disciplined manners are important but without going harsh

[livingnightmare]

no theyre kids. they dont know any better. maybe scolded but not beaten

[SH_19]

Not everytime. Only when it is causing any harm to someone.

[EaterPeter]

They should be allowed to label and process their feelings and thoughts on their own or with external help rather.

[m33lad]

Yes put back father in!
Without state interference!

[Hanmakevi]

Here was the rule when I was growing up if I make you laugh or smile your not allowed to punish me

[Cowboy6666]

They should be guided and taught about good and bad of this society with care and kindness

[sattii2607]

Sometimes, but appreciate them more often and use the punishing only for a short while and in extreme cases.

[cloakofdeception]

Of course!
Not too harshly though
and only for things that are deserved

[Better_off_here]

i think a stern talking to is all you need to get through to them.

[cosmicenergy]

Yes, but without resorting to physical force
