Why Punishment Based Discipline Doesn't Work (Do This Instead)

Click here to learn more about Happy Place and see if it's a great fit for your family: brightestbeginning.com/happyp...
Punishment (whether it's taking away privileges, yelling, cancelling activities, or many other examples) is a really common tool used to try to put an end to undesired behaviour and teach children how they should behave in the future.
But what research shows us that punishment doesn't actually work for toddlers. In this video you'll learn why it doesn't work for young children, and what you can do instead that's much more effective.
This isn't about judgement (most of us have used some form of punishment at some point). It's simply about presenting a more effective way to teach your child appropriate behaviour that I think many parents will find helpful!

    Hi Emma, thank you so much for all the care you put into helping us raise healthy children. You’re one of seemingly few people online who really seem trustworthy and trained and my family has benefited so much from your content. I was wondering if you could do a video on phones and screen usage and how to start off with a healthy balance for a child while they’re still a baby in particular. I’m already making efforts to lessen screen usage in the home but of course my baby is naturally interested in the object that is in my hands every day. Our generation needs professional advice on this! Would be so appreciated. Truly, thank you for your work! ❤ Any other parents have any advice? Comments?

    I strive to think up of a natural consequence that my kids care about most of the time. However, the older one sometimes doesn't care about the natural consequence anymore and can connect their behavior to the later punishment. For that situation, a punishment (e.g. no tv time for today) makes sense in my mind.

    I guess the title to me is super confusing. Consequences are punishment. Toddlers definitely need to be punished by having cars taken away if throwing them or removed from the park in a time out if pushing other kids down. What would be a really helpful topic as a video or course would be a list of common toddler behaviors and the natural/connected consequences you use or suggest to use (hitting/bitting/kicking/yelling/grabbing others toys/stealing others toys/being loud when others are trying to talk/etc)

    I disagree. A consequence is a result or effect of an action or condition. A punishment is the infliction or imposition of a penalty in retribution for an offense. Example that actually happened: 9 y/o child was told told to be careful around the table because there were drinks on it and a game out. Child was careless and knocked over a drink messing up the pieces of the game. Consequence was that he had to help clean up, and pay half the cost of a new one with his own money to replace what did not belong to him. He was given this consequence only because he had already been told that he needed to be careful. A punishment would have been to send the child to his room, ground him, yell, or spank him for not listening. He did get to keep the messed up game. (It was still usable, just not in perfect condition)

    Consequences can feel like a punishment but they are closely related to an action. Punishments itself aren't. It is a big difference if for example a child does not want to wear their jacket and so start to freeze outside, as you told him or that he aren't allowed onto the playground, because he didn't want to dress up. There are simple rules to not punishe your children, especially with restrictions on food or "going to bed". Both will result in disbehavior towards eating or sleeping.

    Consequences connect as closely as possible to actions or inactions. They are a logical outcome. Consequence: My parents tell me to be home by 3 because we are going to the movies. I get home at 3:30 and they left without me. No movie for me and that's the consequences of my dawdling. Punishment: I break a window messing with a baseball and my parents tell me I can't go to the movies with them that afternoon. There is no direct relationship between the window and a movie - having me arrange repairs and pay for at least part of them would be consequences.

    Good point! Probably just focus a bit more of your attention on them (though not completely ignoring the other child) in comforting/reassuring/redirecting - it's a natural consequence that the throwing child has to learn their actions affect others. I don't think it's quite akin to keeping a whole class behind just because one child isn't quiet - in that case it's unfair and irrelevant to impact the other kids. But if the cars have got to go away for safety then that just has to happen!

    How would you suggest handling: A well thought out manipulator? A 3 yro who hits or bites parents when they don't get their way bc they KNOW it hurts... its intentional. ?? Same child w/a professional caregiver who understands addressing behavior immediately: They are told a rule-- break said rule-- & kindly call you to witness it-- bc they WANT to test your "rule integrity" & see your response. Reminder & options are made clear. It's a 70/30 split on whether they self correct or have to be assisted. Clearly intelligent.

    Time out for biting wouldn’t you think? Three minutes? For me this relates because they need to express frustration in a socially acceptable manner. Child uses a non socially acceptable means of expressing their frustration? They’re removed socially from the situation. To me that’s how this consequence relates to the biting behavior. And all kids crave attention. So removing that seems a good consequence. And TONS of positive attention when expressing frustration in an appropriate manner. And… I don’t think it’s bad at all your three year old is trying to test the rule integrity. Kids are designed to test the limits. I think as long as you’re firm every time she’ll stop testing eventually. But for now, follow through, every time.

That's a child's job. (But it shouldn't be constantly.) With the parents, she's become an adept manipulator & bully. Modern parents are often apprehensive about asserting their authority bc they don't want to "screw up their kid", so they become inconsistent softies & reactors. They "gave* this little one authority, she assumed it, & now doesn't want to give it up. She speaks well, she bit to assert her dominance.

Children learn different languages more easily at a young age. Your child will likely understand English first before speaking very much in English, so keep that it mind. If your toddler likes TV, you can let watch a kids TV shows in English. You can play games in English such as Simon Says.

    Children quickly learn which language to use with which person - your child will probably continue with Urdu for you and family, German at school and with adults who are not family, and English sprinkled through both as needed. I was an aide at a USA pre-school program. The first year we had one child who spoke only German, one who spoke only English, and some who spoke Spanish with varying amounts of English. Teacher was English-only, the other aide and I were bilingual Spanish-English. By the end of the 10-week session, the children would speak to the teacher in good English, to us aides in Spanish or English or a mix, and among themselves in a wonderful blend of English and Spanish they had developed, with German words mixed in. They all did well in first grade, so the languages sorted themselves out.

    I’m not an expert but I work with older toddlers and I would say that adding in something they CAN throw and always having it around (like a bean bag or soft ball or a specific place they can throw harder toys into) and redirecting to that each time would help. I think it can be harder for neurodivergent children to understand the consequence connection even when it’s immediate and related, but they can often form new habits. Providing acceptable sensory experiences in place of the undesirable behavior is a go to for me with neurodivergent kids

    Great question! You are right, for toddlers it is easier for them to understand in the moment. So if you would like to reward a behaviour, you do it as closely as possible to the behaviour. Usually just praising them in that moment is more than enough. So if your child shared their toy with their sibling then you would immediately praise the behaviour by saying "Sarah that was so kind of you to let your brother play with your car!"

Her need to be held may have something to do with wanting the same treatment as her sibling (reflecting an unmet need that can naturally happen with the whirlwind of managing more than one kid), and both ideas could alleviate some of the struggles in that.

    In my experience, as soon as you walk away from the child as if you are actually going to leave, they will run to follow you. You can say it’s time to walk home now. Also making the walk more fun like skipping or racing (if it’s safe) May be helpful.

    I have already used this strategy of putting the toys away if my toddler is throwing them, however my toddler doesn't appear to care if the toys are put away, sometimes he actually gives them to me to put them away 🤯 so he doesn't relate this consequence to his misbehaviour, how do I address this??

    He's actually stopped throwing them now, so I'm guessing it was just a phase. I stuck to the boundary of if the toy gets thrown it gets put away, so I suppose he got sick of his toys being put away. Thanks for the questions though! 😊

    Im in trouble usually at night. She keeps on crying until she gets what see wants. My household doesnt understand my way of letting her cry to bring out all her frustration to end. Instead they will rush and get her. Ask if she wants to watch or go out. Its in the wee hours of night. What she wants usually is to give her a pat until she falls asleep and sing. During this time, i dont have enough strength to even get up and lean to her crib/bed. This gets me upset and angry and frustrated most of the time cause she will surely not go to sleep until maybe an hour or more. What can i do? I dont want to give in to her for she will surely use crying/screaming at the middle of the night to get me do what she wants

    Corrections have to happen very soon or it's useless. My parents never withheld food as punishment UNLESS we got into a sibling squabble during the meal. That earned an immediate dismissal from the table and we went hungry until the next meal (or went outside and scrounged from the garden). Next meal had no lectures about how they hoped we had learned a lesson and were getting another chance ... just a clean slate and another meal without comment. ALL participants in a squabble were banished - no blaming, no attempt to assign blame for who started it. Mom said we could be fighting like fishwives coming into the house, and dead silence erupted when we entered the dining room. Dinner might be full of glares and meaningful looks, but it was calm.

    I don't believe physical punishments are entirely bad (of course they should never ever be severe), if they are performed by a person who truly loves the child, and wants the best for them. There is a difference between punishment, and simply being cruel. Physical punishment can be exactly the consequence that is there in the moment, so that the child can connect it to the behaviour.

    I guess you'd take the whole child out of the equation. I've seen supernanny do time outs where you place the child on a mat or step, get down to their eye level, remain calm and tell them you have to sit here because you bit the other child when mummy told you not to. Her rule of thumb is 1 minute per year of the child's age (ie a 2 year old does 2 minutes, a 7 year old does 7). If they run off you just put them back silently and calmly and restart the timer. At the end you explain again why they were put in time out, offer a hug and tell each other you love each other. I don't know if every part is still kosher but I feel like that would be my response; unkind behaviour ends play time

    You remove the teeth and the child from the incident location. It might be just out of the area or you might take them home from the park immediately. "You bite, we leave".

    I would do a "time-in" where you remove the child from the situation but sit with them until they are calmed down. There is a reason why they bit, but likely they can't communicate it. I would work to help them calm themselves down and then find a different way for them to communicate.

    Punishment is payment for something that the child did wrong. The child behaved badly so now they have to 'suffer'. That's not teaching. That's condemning. Parents should simply respond to their child's behaviour in a logical manner. The consequence doesn't need to be something bad. It simply must be a logical and natural follow-up. If an adult were to accidentally spill water on the floor, they would clean it up. Is cleaning up a self-imposed punishment for the adult or simply the most logical follow-up action? That's how we should treat children. We should simply encourage them to do the right thing after a mistake. The child doesn't need to be scolded or shamed. It just needs to learn the logical outcome of his or her actions.

    We don’t do dessert at our house either because that’s our preference. But I also don’t judge families who do, as with any topic there is nuance. A spoonful of yoghurt or some fruit after dinner, for example, could be dessert for many families.
