Punishment
If punishment is to be used, it should be used sparingly and only in conjunction with a positive reinforcement of same alternative response.
Punishment can cause emotional disturbance
Punishment should be administered correctly
Parents should not rely on punishment as a behaviour modification
Over use of punishment, children feel they are always wrong
Punishing a student does not mean he/she stops engaging in that behaviour
Negative reinforcement should be used with great caution
Happiness is not a material satisfaction
Let your child feel your heart beat for him/her
Then one day his/her heart will beat for you
