Punishment vs Discipline: What Actually Works

Punishment vs Discipline.
Punishment vs Discipline.

Behaviour guidance isn’t about control; it is about connection and skill-building.

Parents struggle with being too firm or too lenient on their children, or that the children refuse to listen, but discipline is not behavioural correction but guiding the child to understand how to manoeuvre in the world with the right values, and it fosters mutual respect between child and parent while allowing children to have intrinsic motivation to do right, with problem-solving skills and a sense of security (W, 2025). After disciplining a child, the parent and child should grow closer together while the child gains new skills.

Rewards and punishment are traditional methods of teaching that are deeply ingrained in society’s collective mindset, but children need discipline instead for guidance and direction, as punishment causes children to remember the consequences more than their actions, leading to lies, and if children feel they are bad, then the more they will do bad things (Taprell, 2020). Children can become resentful of adults or ashamed of their actions, which will not produce desirable behaviour. A child should be allowed to feel confident and safe, and not be afraid of punishment for wrong behaviour.

The role of punishment is to decrease behaviour, whereby positive punishment is to give an adverse consequence, and negative punishment is to take away something good (Tan Meng Yin, 2020). Two examples would be removing a child’s play time because he hit his brother, or scolding the child for touching a hot oven. Sometimes, due to safety concerns, a punishment can be necessary, but it is not a long-term solution compared to discipline.

Discipline is about adults understanding children, offering logical consequences to teach children about responsibility, and fostering parent-child relationships (Taprell, 2020). Adults are crucial in guiding children correctly, while teaching responsibility along with the skills. Children can also learn from their actions about what consequences can occur. If a child were to damage a toy due to anger, the consequence is that the toy must be thrown away or repaired.

By having positive expectations from the start, teachers can empower children to have skills to prevent behavioural or school troubles, as children do not lack motivation but skills for success, and also external rewards like token systems may not work because intrinsic motivation for success can decrease or cause children to learn that if they do not do well, it means they are not trying (Parrish, 2025). Teachers may tend to fall into a spiral of negativity due to past experiences, but they should always think of the best in children. Also, while there is nothing fundamentally wrong with reward charts, the main focus should always be on helping children to be self-motivated when doing good.

Therefore, these are the solutions for guiding children’s behaviour. Teachers can be more empathetic and understanding, to understand their issues, offer a listening ear to their troubles, and work together with them to create solutions (Parrish, 2025).

Preventing Behaviour Problems Before They Start

Preventing Behaviour Problems Before They Start.
Preventing Behaviour Problems Before They Start.

Many behavioural issues can be resolved even before they start, and that comes from an understanding of child development. Teachers and parents can implement these strategies to help manage their children’s behaviour. In this article, the following effective methods will be described: setting up the physical environment, maintaining a consistent routine, setting clear expectations, and guiding children through transitions.  

Firstly, challenging behaviour can be managed by changing the classroom environment, and because open spaces encourage children to run so furniture can be used to break up space while still being functional, or work spaces can be adjusted so children’s backs are facing the wall to allow for teacher facilitation, and lastly allow for independence by having schedules and other work materials in the work space (Autism Classroom Resources, 2026). The Reggio Emilia approach believes that the learning environment is the third teacher, and thus, teachers can save much time and effort just by spending some thought into their classrooms.

Secondly, routines are also vital to classroom management, as it helps children feel safe and confident to learn, for them to understand consistency in the daily schedule, which helps in emotional regulation, independence, and task concentration, while reducing negative behaviour (Leapfrogs, 2025). Children need to know what to expect after every activity in school. Teachers and adults should never make random changes throughout the day to confuse them, though if changes are needed, always communicate with the children. This applies not just to special needs but to every child.

Thirdly, when adults have clear expectations, children can avoid confusion and anxiety, so they know about the boundaries, and adults can do so by being specific, using positive language, staying consistent with consequences, allowing the child to set expectations, segmenting the task, and using lists or charts (Dynamics Therapy Group, 2024). If something is not allowed, it should not be allowed, regardless of the situation. However, phrase expectations with a positive tone, such as saying, “We love our teachers and friends, so we will use kind language to each other.”

Fourthly, children struggle with transitions, especially when everything is new, be it the environment or routines, so transitions may become triggers for negative reactions, because children lack the understanding of time and thus will need predictability to guide them, and teachers can use auditory stimuli like a bell or visual schedule, and even fun activities like singing songs to ease children through every activity of the day (Brightwheel, 2025). Even adults sometimes struggle with going from one activity to another, so children should be given the time and space to understand and not be rushed through everything.

Therefore, these are the strategies to help guide children’s behaviour. Above all, consistency is key to guiding children’s behaviour and with nurturing adults in the learning environment, the likelihood of negative behaviours occurring should be kept at a minimum.

Handling Hitting, Biting, and Aggression

Aggression in young children.
Aggression in young children.

Stay in a preschool for more than a few hours, and one can observe a child getting injured by a peer or hear loud cries of agony. Then (hopefully), you will see a concerned adult immediately running towards the aid of the injured child and then being firm on the perpetrator. Welcome to a normal day in kindergarten.

In this article, some observable factors as to why a child displays violent behaviours will be discussed, then some other underlying reasons are also stated, and finally, suggestions for parents or teachers to deal with these situations will be provided.

To kick things off, here are three reasons why violent behaviour is happening: The environment, the inability to speak, and imitation.

The environment affects the types of aggression children show, particularly biting, and adults need to see beyond the behaviour to understand the reason behind it, usually caused by an unfamiliar environment with challenges, as children attempt to interact with each other (Piazzaroli & Fiamenghi-Jr, 2018). A child might get frustrated at a peer’s action, or he might be struggling on his first day of school. If the root issue is not resolved, aggression will definitely happen again.

From the moment they are born until they are almost four years old, children will display reactions based on whether they like or dislike an environment, because they use fewer words and more gestures, possibly violent ones, to get what they want, such as owning a space, having a toy, or getting an adult’s attention (Piazzaroli & Fiamenghi-Jr, 2018). While adults should teach children to use language to get what they want, before they can use words, adults should be vigilant and observant in the classroom. They have to understand triggers before they happen and set up a learning environment that ensures such incidents will not occur, such as providing plenty of learning materials.

Children will repeat behaviour in school based on what they learned at home, but the most crucial aspect is that adults mediating during conflicts can help children understand that there are other ways to respond, particularly in providing situations for children to learn how to respond (Piazzaroli & Fiamenghi-Jr, 2018). Teachers and parents can create false situations and get children to problem-solve, to pre-empt them on positive or negative behaviours before they occur. Similarly, they can also learn appropriate responses to prevent other peers from hurting them.

Although there are also some underlying reasons that aggression occurs more frequently, this proves that children are not as simple as adults may think they are.

Children with mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder, can be very aggressive on one hand or only aggressive when triggered, while children with psychotic illnesses like schizophrenia are triggered by internal reasons because of fear and display violence towards others (Silva, 2025). These mood disorders can cause a child to switch in emotions, and they have consistent emotions and thoughts that are difficult to handle, which need early medical attention to improve their life in the future (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 2026).

Even children with cognition or communication problems will lash out when they are unable to communicate their needs and emotions, whereas for impulsivity like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), these children are not aware of their actions and may hurt others unknowingly, and for those with conduct disorder are deliberately hurting others and require certain treatments (Silva, 2025). Both ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) are mental disorders that can cause a child to display violence more often, and they need therapy to help cope with these symptoms.

Injury and trauma are also reasons for aggression, because when the frontal lobe is damaged or when a child has epilepsy, aggression can occur at any time, whereas trauma occurs when a child recalls stressors in the situation, and they need help if aggression persists (Silva, 2025). Compared to mental disorders, a physical injury or traumatic event is more obvious in understanding how or why a child reacts in a certain manner.

Lastly, here are some suggestions on how to deal with a child who displays violent behaviour.

Discipline is not punishment, but punishment is just a form of discipline, and there are five steps teachers can respond to bad behaviour: Firstly, teachers have to understand their influence on behaviour, secondly, teachers need to be assertive, thirdly, teachers need a discipline plan with written rules and consequences, fourthly, teachers help children to reach the plan, and fifthly, teachers guide children on appropriate behaviour (Martella, Nelson, Marchand-Martella, & O'Reilly, 2012). It is often said that prevention is better than cure, and while not every behaviour can be analysed as discussed above, it is wise for teachers to have a clear understanding of child behaviour and to pre-empt incidents from happening.

If an incident were to happen, the goal is to ensure it does not happen again, by understanding the root of the issue because when a child is angry they are no longer thinking, so a timeout will not work but may encourage the behaviour to reoccur, so an adult should help the child to regulate emotions as he displays aggression because he is hurting, then when the child is calm the adult can use reasoning to explain other alternatives than hitting someone (Markham, 2013). During the heat of the moment, an adult may feel it is necessary to punish the child who hurt someone; moreover, it is the adult’s responsibility in that setting. However, the wrong actions could lead to a spiral of negative behaviour.

Therefore, these are the possible reasons for aggression to occur in young children, and there are some steps an educator or parent can take.

What to Say (and Not Say) During Challenging Behaviour

Positive and negative reinforcement.
Positive and negative reinforcement.

Sometimes it is not what an adult says but how they say something that matters. The more an adult wants to stop a child’s tantrum, the more the tantrum could escalate even further, and so it is important to understand what not to do (Hershberg, 2024).

Firstly, here are the things adults should do when faced with a child having the biggest tantrum, namely, positive language and positive reinforcement.

Positive language is a great discipline strategy, and adults showcase warmth and care towards students when they use it directly, allowing children to learn actively and stay engaged, while also communicating rules and boundaries clearly, and reinforcing existing positive behaviours (Responsive Classroom, 2024). A parent can commend on a child being neat or doing his homework promptly without reminders. This can reinforce a desirable behaviour.

Reinforcement is about reinforcing a behaviour through giving or removing something, so positive reinforcement is to add rewards or praise to encourage a child to repeat a desired behaviour, and teachers should focus on the positive to motivate children, so they know that doing well is rewarding, rather than knowing the negative effects of misbehaviour (Martella, Nelson, Marchand-Martella, & O'Reilly, 2012). What someone focuses on will indeed grow, so rather than feel frustrated over the negative behaviour, it is better and easier to celebrate the positive.

Praise is a common positive reinforcement technique, and it can increase a child’s intrinsic motivation, helping the child to gain a sense of competence (Sutherland, Wehby, & Copeland, 2016). Praise has to be specific, helping the child to understand exactly what he or she is being praised for.

Secondly, here are the things adults should never do, namely, focusing only on the negative and undermining a child.

When teachers focus only on negative behaviours, they reinforce such disruptive behaviours (Mundschenk, Miner, & Nastally, 2011). In every school, there is a teacher who seems to be angry or fierce all the time, and these teachers are both feared and revered by adults and children alike. However, how often do their techniques work? To children, bad attention is better than no attention, and thus, even if they can behave at their best when disciplinary teachers are around, difficult children quickly go back to their normal states when they are gone.

It is easy to undermine a child’s reactions to trivialise their emotions, but adults should respond to tantrums seriously and honestly to teach them that even difficult emotions are part of life and learn to cope with them (Hershberg, 2024). Adults have countless years of experience, and just like how it is unreasonable to expect a newbie at the job to learn everything quickly, children need the time to grow and develop, to understand themselves and others.

Therefore, whether it is teachers or parents, the spiral towards deep resentment and disappointment is easy to fall into when it comes to taking care of young children. Sometimes it is better to take a step back, try to see the child’s positive side and emphasise it through positive reinforcement, understand the child is still learning, and will someday display the appropriate behaviour with the proper guidance.

The Brain Behind Big Emotions

The Brain Behind Big Emotions.
The Brain Behind Big Emotions.

What happens when a child is having a tantrum? An adult’s actions could determine whether the child goes back to normal or continues making a fuss in public.

Children and toddlers are not yet able to self-regulate, and so adults need to be present to guide them, because the skill to calm themselves down only starts after three years old (Briggs, 2024). It is common for adults to feel frustrated when a child does not understand what they should be doing. But, children are still developing and thus adults need to be realistic about what they can or cannot do at the moment.

Adults need to have the skill to self-regulate and be a role model so they can guide a child, so when a child displays tantrums, adults stay calm and use techniques such as setting proper expectations, understanding the child’s emotions, speaking less, teaching self-soothing, or even having a break (Briggs, 2024). During a child’s tantrums, it is tempting to reason about what he or she should or should not be doing. But this can cause the child not to learn how to self-regulate.

The Arc of the Tantrum states five zones that a child goes through during a tantrum: Normal, escalation, dysregulation zone, calming down, and back to normal (Parenthood Understood, 2026). This is a useful tool for teachers and parents to understand how to guide a child’s behaviour. Sometimes the best method is to give the child some space when the child is triggered.

A trigger typically leads a child from normal to escalation, which starts the tantrum and when the tantrum reaches the peak, it is called the dysregulation zone, and the child’s brain enters a “flight-fight-freeze” state, though they will naturally calm down on their own and finally be back to normal (Parenthood Understood, 2026). When a human feels that they are in danger, the brain gives an automatic and primal response, be it to fight, flee, or freeze, because the brain wants to protect them, though this may be an overreaction because not every threat is life-threatening (Baker, 2008). It is therefore important that adults understand that the child needs help. Allow the child to calm down and reach a normal state, because the tantrum could escalate again, then talk to him or her to guide their behaviour.

A great parenting tip is for parents to always begin with consistent rules and consequences, as children need structure to manage their behaviour, and rules can set boundaries, while consequences offer rewards and punishments for the rules (Baker, 2008). If a mother shows that rules can be broken simply because she is tired or wants to be nice, a child will get confused as to the correct behaviour. If a behaviour is unacceptable, it is unacceptable regardless of the situation.

But there are times when rewards and punishments fail to work with a rowdy child, and sometimes adults need to let go of the concept of whether the behaviour is intentional and instead focus on changing the triggers or guide the child to deal with the triggers (Baker, 2008). If the child refuses to do his homework, try to understand why. Did the child get laughed at in school? Or does the child feel inadequate in dealing with failure? If so, comfort him or her and do not scold for not doing the task.

Therefore, as teachers or parents, they have to be calm and capable of self-regulation. Take the time to understand the child’s behaviour and give space for the child to calm down before using reason. The child is still learning about self-regulation and may not be intentional with the “bad behaviour”. Lastly, adults should always ensure their rules are consistent.

Why Young Children “Misbehave”

Why Young Children “Misbehave”
Why Young Children “Misbehave”

Your child is not giving you a hard time; they are having a hard time.

Firstly, we need to understand what behaviour is, whether it is positive or negative. Your child is trying to communicate with you, just not in words that you would have liked. During your child’s seemingly endless meltdowns and tantrums, look beyond the screaming or kicking, and try to understand why this behaviour is happening. What emotions is your child going through right now?

Emotional development is about emotions, responses, and communicating through behaviours, and because children use behaviour to communicate, they need adults to help them regulate their emotions by being affirmative and calm, and sometimes adults need to change themselves before expecting children to change (Children First, 2026). Children lack the skills to tell you what they need and want, so as an adult, you are responsible for deciphering their behaviours.

Secondly, we have to understand that children are still developing. They are learning things that adults have themselves taken many years to master, such as impulse control, language, and emotions. Admittedly, there are moments in our lives when we do not have everything in control, what more our young children? Parents and teachers can work together to guide children.

Teachers have to understand their roles in behavioural management, find out the reasons behind behaviours, understand that children are still developing, learning is complicated, but most importantly, to switch mindsets from misbehaviour to mistaken behaviour, and to use a positive approach (Gartrell, 1995). Traditional methods of teaching state that teachers are the ones teaching children and children are the ones learning, but contemporary approaches towards early childhood education disagree.

Traditional discipline uses punishment when children face difficult problems, which leads to reducing children’s self-esteem and negative emotions, whereas guidance provides positive alternatives for children to learn problem-solving in socially acceptable manners (Gartrell, 1995). The teacher has to guide the child positively on appropriate behaviour, never to punish because it will lead to dire consequences.

Thirdly, there is also the idea of mistaken behaviour. Children’s behaviour has any of these four reasons behind it: seeking attention, seeking power, seeking revenge, and showing incompetence, and they all aim to have social acceptance (Gartrell, 1995). At the end of the day, if the basic needs of a child are met, the negative behaviour should stop. If a parent were to shout at a child in a public place, it is inevitable that the child throws a tantrum and makes a big scene.

There are also three levels of mistaken behaviour: Strong-needs is at level three, socially influenced is at level two, and experimentation is at level one. Strong-needs refers to the most serious stage because the child, when he or she has psychological or physical pain and displays certain behaviours in a safe environment, and as for socially influenced, which is about the child learning from peers or adults in terms of actions or speech, and experimentation is when a child is still learning about the world around him or her by engaging with it (Gartrell, 1995). It is up to the discretion of the teacher to understand that the first two levels are merely imitation or exploration, and such behaviours can be guided. But the third level means a deeper level of understanding is required.

The role of the teacher is to set boundaries through leadership, and when teachers punish misbehaviour, hoping to bring positive change, it actually creates negative emotions within children, as they believe they are bad and hence their behaviour will display such thoughts (Gartrell, 1995). Being a parent or preschool teacher is never easy, and more often than not, they may lose their patience during behavioural management. However, it is important that during such moments, adults are still nurturing and positive towards the young children in order to guide them appropriately.

Working with Young Children

Working with young children.
Working with young children.

Being a parent involves juggling many balls at once, and none of these balls can hit the ground. In the United States, there is an increase of working mothers driven by politics and economic pressures, with a 75% of mothers with preschool children, and there is feedback that what benefits them most is paid parental leave and flexible work arrangements, and studies have shown that married mothers with children are the happiest demographic within women, and lastly mothers gain most help from family than other communities (Wang & Erickson, 2025). It takes a village to raise a child, and also to support the parents. But being a mother is what provides women with joy and satisfaction.

As a toddler develops into a preschooler, he or she will experience physical, cognitive, and language changes, which include brain development, fine and gross motor skills (Santrock, 2019). It is fascinating to see how quickly an infant can grow and develop into a young child, and into a teenager, and eventually an adult. Parents often comment that time flies when they take care of their children.

It is never easy to raise a child, and school teachers feel the same way. A child goes to school, but there are different approaches, such as the Reggio Emilia or the Montessori Approach (Santrock, 2019). Parents will have to be prudent and wise in choosing the correct school. The school that is chosen will be determined by many factors, such as finances or expectations. Some schools are more academically-driven, more play-based, or that teach values and cultures.

Regardless, being a parent is a joyful and rewarding experience, and they bring so much joy not just to parents but to teachers.
