In our opinion; punishment does form a part of discipline but it does NOT equal discipline.
The punishment should also be a logical consequence of the behavior.
“If you hit your sister with the toy, you cannot play with this toy for a while” 👍🏻
It offers the child a choice: play nicely or lose your toy for several minutes (depending on age). Taking the toy away is a punishment, a logical consequence of behavior and the child’s choice in the end.
After the time has passed; the child gets another chance to choose again. This is an opportunity to teach and in handling the situation this way, teaching your child is exactly what you are doing.
Hitting the child, because he is hitting and shouldn’t be, is not a logical consequence. You are displaying the exact behavior that you are disapproving of.
