Punishment takes away pleasure or inflicts pain with little impact on personality development, except for superficial and temporary behavioral modification. Punishment is not always a learning experience. It maintains order and keeps the person in line, but it does not internalize good personality traits and ethical qualities. Anger, flight, desperate decisions, rebellious behavior are a few of the reactions to the pain of punishment. Discipline, like almost everything that is done right, takes time and meticulous attention to details.
Discipline calls for time-consuming teaching with consistent reinforcement.
It calls for reasonable and responsible restrictions for personality gain, not pain, to insure the freedom that implies order and propriety, rather that chaotic license and carelessness. Discipline is the product of love, not revenge or restitution. The teaching of discipline calls for positive thinking and patient listening but not preaching and nagging. Teenagers might disagree with the limitations, but they will come to respect your motives.
