Is taking away things a good punishment?
If you take away a privilege that your child doesn’t really care about, it won’t be an effective negative consequence. Pick something that is really going to impact your child, but not in a punitive way. Carefully match the privilege you’re taking away to your child’s violation.
Does taking a child’s phone help?
A study reveals that the use of technology as a bargaining chip for behavior modification can actually impact the trust between you and your child. When their phone is taken away, they associate this as taking away a part of themselves rather than a punishment for bad behavior. To them it’s unjust.
Should you take things away from your kids as punishments?
“It’s very important for parents to make a connection between the behavior and what is being taken away, particularly as a child gets older. For instance, if they fail to obey rules around devices or video games, it makes sense to take those away as punishment,” Fox tells Romper.
What are the positive and negative effects of punishment?
The positive outcomes of using punishment include: The child is informed that their behavior is not acceptable, and now knows what not to do in the future. The child is given a punishment or negative consequence, which teaches her that behavior has consequences and will hopefully help her associate the two.
What happens if you don’t punish your child?

Is deprivation an effective punishment?
