Over the years we have always attempted to take corrective measures with those found to have done wrong. This includes counseling, which starts at a very young age. To think about how we might correct a child who does wrong is not much different than what we might do with an adult, depending on the circumstances. To punish a child by making them stay in their room and trying to explain right and wrong, can be seen as an adult being confined and required to take anger management classes.
Although the situations can be seen as very different, we are attempting to obtain the same result; corrected behavior. This is also seen through other measures of punishment, which could also be monetary. If you receive an $85.00 speeding ticket, this is also meant to correct a behavior, in other words, they are hoping you will not speed due to the loss of money. Of course, we also understand that some offenses are compounding, which results in higher penalties for repeated violations. With that said, your next speeding ticket, may result in a suspended driver’s license, additional points on you license, which increases your car insurance cost, etc.
This process also applies to crimes resulting in incarceration. Domestic Violence is a progressing crime, which typically starts as a misdemeanor charge, but a second offense is a felony charge. Therefore, your second offense usually results in a higher penalty, such as a longer confinement period. In addition to the penalty itself, many
Children have a lot to say and parents have to remember to stop and listen to their child and then maybe offer suggestions and ideals. Recognize how the child feels and acknowledge the flaws the child has. Nobody is perfect. Realizing the imperfections of the child helps a parent better understand the type of encouragement and guidance the child might need to become a more productive adolescent.
I was pulled over by a police officer because I was going faster than I was supposed to in that designated area. The zone was a sixty-five mile per hour zone and I was do eighty. I have agreed to the terms that I was found guilty of this and now come to you the reader explaining why it may be dangerous to be speeding in certain areas and ultimately everywhere. During this experience I have learned that there are many consequences for not driving safe, because there is never a good reason to speed. I have learned that it is extremely dangerous to speed and that there will be consequences, even if they are minor like, obtaining a ticket, and occasionally they are major, like killing running into someone else. It does not matter what happens after, you should not be speeding ever because there is never a good
Every child has been yelled at by their parent or their guardian. Frequently, a child is guilty of misbehaving. Often, parents are screaming for no apparent reason. Each child has felt the fear rise from their toes to their brain worrying about what they could’ve done. Once they figured out it’s nothing they have done, children get confused. They
This is not to say that the parents are bad parents or stupid, they just do not realize that children can pick up on things at a young age as they watch them. As parents they should monitor what they do around their children, so that the child does not have to learn bad habits. If the children does happen to do something bad they should take the necessary course of action to make sure that the child knows that the act is bad and should tell them the right course of action. Showing your children the way of life and how it should be lived could positively affect their growth as they mature into teenagers and eventually adults. Now I know everyone is not perfect and we may fail to be a perfect role model, but at least try to keep the negativity to a bare minimum around the child. Parental guidance is always necessary in life. As parents you have experienced the things that the child may be going through and can relate to them on matters because you have been there. I believe if more parents were to talk to their children and try to blend it into being their child’s best friend the problem with aggression can seize itself because every learned action can be unlearned.
When children fall out and say mean things to each other I always say to them well how would you feel about that if that’s what she said or did to you? I always get down to their level and use the appropriate body language and tone of voice. I ask them what they think they should do and I sanction them if
For example, if a child has thrown an object at his parent or hits a parent out of anger, the child would receive a spanking without receiving an explainnation of what he did wrong. Then child would not learn that it is wrong to throw things or hit at people. This would lead to the child repeating the behavior again.
Sooner or later, many parents and guardians will have to deal with an emotional child. One of the most important goals is to help children develop respect for themselves and others ("The Role of Discipline"). According to "Plain Talk about Dealing with an Angry child", handling children's anger can be puzzling, tiring, and upsetting for adults. Countless methods have been created to help cope with an angry child. The most effective and peaceful techniques of handling angry boys and girls are by setting good examples, enforcing rules in the household, and paying attention to them.
"A person's a person, no matter how small” (Seuss). All people should be held responsible if they commit a crime. As Doctor Seuss stated, kids are people too; therefore, Children should also be held responsible for their actions. The crime that is committed should dictate the legal action enforced upon the youth and the child´s mental stability should be assessed when sentencing a child.
Kids should be subjected to the measures of punishment that our judicial system is giving to them. Kids who show lots of enmity should be tried as adults. It is the only way to protect the innocent children. These kids know right from wrong, but they choose to do the wrong things and violence is wrong. As the laws have gotten stricter on discipline the kids have gotten wilder. When we let society tell us how to discipline our children then violent children is the result.
It seems to me that sometimes we should put aside our social and parental expectations and try to understand why is that children displaying such behavior, why is he or she defiant or even
(Stratton & Taylor, 2001). I do not feel that discipline is put into action as often as it should. Some of these Juveniles are heading down the wrong path, lacking control with themselves and their attitudes, some lacking the right help they need in order to take charge of their mental illness that may be causing them to attack their parents, and also trying to be like the other delinquents, conforming to someone else behavior. But it does start with the parents. Sometimes, children do not understand that with the different chores that their parents are asking them to do, and the other tasks, the parent is shaping the juvenile to become responsible on their own so when the time comes or if anything should happen, they will be able to know what to do and how to handle situations on their own. Brad Meltzer said: “No matter how far we come, our parents are always in us.” This means that the values, lectures, disciplines, and lessons that were given by our parents, will forever be instilled in us and are just a memory away. It is up to us to remember and never forget what our parents has taught us and never turn on the ones that raised, and nurtured you into the sprouted seed that you have grown
In my opinion, there is more than just the child who does wrong. It is society ,parents, and schools.
By nature children are naturally inclined to mock or imitate things that within their environment. This why parents and or caregivers must be careful what we do and expose children to. This is no different when it comes to learning and or discipline. Punishment creates fear, aggression and most importantly the punished behavior is never forgotten; it lays dormant and has
Studies have shown that combining reasoning and punishment leads to greater reduction in misbehavior than using punishment alone (Berk, 2012), which is consistent with the idea that children are more willing to comply with rules that seem fair and reasonable (Berk, 2012). Third, any punishment must be based on a loving and warm parent-child relationship. Children of loving and caring parents are more likely to feel guilty when they misbehave, and are more willing to correct their wrongdoing to restore the relationship with their parents (Berk, 2012). In addition to these principles, the timing of punishment is also important—it should occur immediately after the misdeed so the child can relate the punishment to their misbahavior (Barry, 2012). Furthermore, spanking and time out should only be used on children from 2 to 10 years old, after they can control their behavior (Barry,
Without doubt, many who are parents today they never had the proper instruction on how to discipline their children, and this is because they were disciplined the wrong way, since much of the discipline that they received was applied many times by neglect and even the physical abuse, and giving this as a result that they want to apply what they received, although this was applied in the wrong way.
