Should children be punished for misbehaviour?

Answer 1

First answer: Of course! If they are not punished, then when will they ever learn what is right and wrong? If a child breaks a window of someone else's house, they will just keep doing it unless someone tells them otherwise. Second answer:no

Third answer: If they do something minor, just tell them that you're very disappointed in them. It works better if you make them feel guilty rather than punishing them. Because when you punish them, the get even more angry and act out more, which is definitely not what you want. If they do something major, take away something that's important to them, such as their cell phone or an outing with friends. Remember every child likes something different, so try hard to find something they would actually miss. Whatever you do, DON'T ASK THEM because they'll most likely tell you something that they wouldn't miss, and that doesn't do any good for you. Also remember to praise them when the make the right decisions, and remind them that you're proud of them when they make a new accomplishment. Good luck! ;)

Answer 2

It depends on the crime. if they threw out a joke in class, no. But if they took down the entire computer network, yes.

Another View: If you mean a MONEY fine, who do you think will ultimately be responsible for paying it? The parents!

Depending on the severity of the offense, give them detention or some other type opf punitive punishment - possibly even suspension or expulsion if the offense was severe enough.
