Discipline and punishment are two very different things. Discipline is about teaching. It helps a child learn what is expected and eventually learn how to control their behaviour. Parents can worry about the best ways to discipline. For many of us, discipline usually means punishment. Punishment often leaves us feeling hurt, upset and unfairly treated.
The "Benjamin Button Special" is where a child will be receiving a hair cut styled as an old man. The cut begins shaving the child's crown until it resembles a balding senior citizen. In the article it says that experts believe that shaming as a discipline can be "ineffective and even destructive". Discipline is about guidance. It is a safe way to find out the world for themselves while learning to handling their emotions to work well with each other. A positive approach to discipline is less stressful for children and therefore strengthening the relationship you have with your child.
I found a tweet of this father who took a video his children after their new hair cuts because of the best grades they have received. It has become popular for parents to sham their children on social media. I do not agree with this form of discipline for the result of this will make the child angry causing them lash out of their parents even more. Even after the haircut, the child will get bullied at school which will slowly kill the child's self esteem. I will never know the reason why they do it but I think it is because social media has made anything and everything "funny". We must remember that it is the internet and we must respect the family and especially the child. Yes we know that they have done wrong, but however the whole world does not have to know.
Punishment ● [puhn-ish- muh nt] verb; to subject to pain, confinement, death, etc., as a penalty for some offence, transgression, or fault.
t's crazy how a computer screen has the power to give someone confidence that they wouldn't have otherwise. This type of cruelty is definitely a concern because besides the fact that it can be light-hearted sometimes, words do have an impact and that's inevitable. No matter what human being you say it to, they're still going to have feelings and opinions. I personally, highly doubt cyber bullying will be a thing of the past any time soon and that rules or 'laws' should be instituted. Something that sensors your tweets/comments/posts and only allows you to tweet it if it's appropriate. This could be seen as a really uptight and stupid thing to do but it'd prevent some harmful things from happening. I don't think people really see the full picture and the outcomes that cyber bullying and words in general have on people.
