Many parents often tend to punish their kids for a bad behavior believeing this punishment will correct their behavior but little do they know how uneffective punishment truly is. Punishment can be so agressive in many cases it can lead to destructive outcomes for EVERYBODY involved. In several of this cases the victim learn nothing from the punishment, sometimes not even understanding what he did wrong leaving him with an emotional scar for life. Another downside about punishment is several people use it as a tool to force others to do as they please. This may cause rivary between the individuals involve. In many cases punishment can be perecived as a reward. A very clear example of this is the constant desire for attention kids portray, when kids are crying or screaming parents tend to scream louder or make a bigger deal out of the situation giving the kids the atenttion they want. This only shows them tantrums will get them what they want. Another big disatvange is the fact that children are punished when they are under survellince but once survellience ends the kids believe the punishment does as well. This only makes bad beahvior come back. Punishment without reinforcement is NOT effective at all.
