Why Do We Often Choose Punishment?
Top 3 Mistakes Parents Make:
- Reacting in Anger – We explode when we’re triggered, not when we’re calm
- Using Shame – “What’s wrong with you?” instead of “What happened?
- Punishing without teaching – No lesson, just consequences.Let’s clear this up.
🔴 Punishment is reactive. It focuses on making a child suffer for a mistake. It’s usually driven by our frustration.
Think: yelling, taking away stuff, timeouts without talking.
✅ Discipline, on the other hand, is proactive. It teaches. It focuses on helping a child learn what to do next time.
Ask yourself:
- Am I punishing because I’m angry, or disciplined to teach?
- Do I expect my child to control emotions I haven’t mastered myself?
- What can I change today to be a parent with more awareness?
