And the best way to discipline the kids is to be friendly with them but be strict when it comes to some wrong that they have done. Be stern and strict when they go wrong and also let them know where they went wrong and what are the consequences thereupon.http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#139131Mon, 23 Feb 2009 06:23:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:139131gurban1http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#139131http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-139131.xmlYeah, what I meant was any kind of punishment, physical, verbal or whatever. In school where I work,for instance, physical punishment is strictly forbidden. But there is no discipline at all. Children are like teachers' friend. They behave to teachers as if they are,teachers, their friends.http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#138578Mon, 23 Feb 2009 06:23:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:138578monfrancom2http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#138578http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-138578.xmlGurban wrote: In education it is mostly said that children/learners should not be pumished.

I did a search on www.kartoo.com using the words "discipline punishment" together, and found this web site http://www.new-life.net/discipln.htm that helps to put discipline and punishment in perspective. Be aware that this discussion is within a "christian" context. The reader can easily discociate any elements that show a religious tendency and get to the essential meanings pertaining to discipline versus punishment. It should be the first lesson in Discipline 101 class! It should also be part of every schools' first meeting between administration and teachers....http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#138284Mon, 23 Mar 2009 06:23:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:138284Philip3http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#138284http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-138284.xmlGurban wrote: In education it is mostly said that children/learners should not be pumished.

Many parents, educators and psychologists believe that discipline can best be achieved by allowing "natural consequences" to be the so-called punishment in effect. The rules need to be set up carefully, or "natural" loses its meaning. If a child doesn't eat his dinner because, he's too full, by-passing dessert is a natural consequence rather than a punishment. If a student skips class on Monday, the natural consequence is that he will probably do poorly on the pop-quiz on Tuesday, which he must take with the other students if he has not note of excuse...http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#138185Fri, 23 Jan 2009 06:23:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:138185Waïti4http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#138185http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-138185.xmlAre you talking about corporal punishment or just punishment in general ? I don't think resorting to physical violence as a means to enforce discipline is necessarily needed. But I do not conceive of discipline without punishement. Nor do I conceive it without reward for that matter.http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#138170Mon, 23 Feb 2009 06:23:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:138170Robyn Terri5http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htm#138170http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-138170.xmlWhat do you mean by punishment? If you mean physical punishment like smacking a child than yes discipline without physical punishment is certainly possible. I would think it is prefered, though it does require more self discipline from the adult as well as more thought and creativity. A child needs to learn that there are negative consequences to negative behavior. Is speaking firmly to correct a child or growling at them considered punishment?http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htmThu, 23 Apr 2009 05:23:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:138021gurban6http://www.englishforums.com/English/DisciplineWithoutPunishmentPossible/blbjp/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-138021.xmlIn education it is mostly said that children/learners should not be pumished.
