Empowering Children - Punishment Vs Discipline
Though I am yet to be a parent, I have been a child who faced challenges birthed and compounded by misdirection's in discipline. Though I am sure my disciplinarians reacted out of their own personally learnt behaviors; I now stand up to display accountability in stopping the cycle. I can find purpose in my punishment by edumacating adults and parents alike in what to avoid when cultivating a child’s growth.
A child should never be punished; to punish is primarily to inflict sanction or pain as a retribution for not being as finely tuned with consequence. How can a child know better if they have not seen or been taught better. Discipline, the practice of edumacating children ways of implementing strategies and positive codes of behavior serves to promote their development. If birthed from love and a desire for a child to learn from misdirection by applications of fair and morally justifiable consequential constructs; then these actions ultimately empower your child’s growth. Be the best you can be; for your child will always follow the leader.
