Are Some Punishments Really Necessary?

Some minor punishments are seen to be ineffective, even though they are often used to discipline kids. Punishing children for things they have no control over teaches children from a young age that life is far from fair.

However, we might wish to consider that it might be wrong to penalize or humiliate a child because their parents made a mistake in some way. As a result, some children occasionally misbehave because they think the adults don’t understand them or are being cruel.
