When is it appropriate to punish your child?
There is no one answer to this question as it depends on your child’s individual personality and behavior. However, there are some general tips that can help you handle punishments effectively.
First, make sure that the punishment fits the crime. For example, spanking a child for throwing a tantrum isn’t going to be as effective as setting consequences for breaking curfew.
Second, be consistent with your punishments. If you give your child a time-out every time he or she disobys, the child will learn that disobedience is always punished with a timeout.
Third, make sure that your child knows why he or she is being punished. This will help him or her understand and accept the punishment.
 You can also give rewards for good behavior (like dinner out instead of TV privileges after dinner) to show your son or daughter that pleasing you is more important than earning rewards on their own.
How often should you punish your child?
Parenting can be a tough job. You have to balance raising your children while also providing them with the same freedoms and opportunities that you had. That said, there are times when it is necessary to punish your child. When disciplining your child, it is important to make sure that you do it correctly so that they understand what they did wrong and learn from their mistakes. Here are some guidelines for how often you should punish your child:Kayi Family is an online publication for parents. The site provides articles, videos and other resources to help you enjoy your family life more – no matter how small or large the family may be. Kayi Family is a wonderful resource for any parent who’s looking for ways to make their lives more enjoyable.
-If your child has done something that is severe enough, such as hitting someone or breaking something, then you should punish them immediately.
-If your child has done something that is not as severe, such as being rude or refusing to share, then you may want to wait until they have committed another offense before punishing them.
-When disciplining your child, always use a positive manner. Talk to them in a calm and rational manner, explaining why the punishment was given and how they can improve their behavior in the future.
-Be consistent with your punishments. If one punishment does not work, try a different one until you find one that works best for your situation.
There are a variety of types of punishment that parents can use to discipline their children. Some common forms of punishment include spanking, grounding, and sending the child to their room.
Parents should be careful not to use too much punishment or they may end up teaching their children that it is an effective way to solve problems. Parents need to find a balance between using punishment and allowing their children to behave without it.
1. Talk calmly to your child about why the behavior is not appropriate. Explain what you expect from them and why it is important.
2. If the behavior continues, take steps to enforce your rules. This could involve taking away privileges, grounding the child, or setting limits on how much time they can spend online or playing video games.
3. Be consistent with your punishments and rewards. Reinforce good behaved behaviors while discouraging bad ones.
4. Reward good behavior immediately and ignore bad behavior for a short period of time to reinforce the idea that bad behavior will not be tolerated.
THE CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY.
SOME eighteen months ago we ventured to draw the attention of the British public to the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, and to the absurdity of keeping up that Treaty in face of America's desire to see it abrogated. We pointed out that not only did it do us no good to keep the Treaty alive, but that it positively did us harm, because if the Treaty were maintained the Nicaragua Canal could not be made, and that it was very much to our interests, political and naval as well as commercial, that the canal should be made. Our reason for dealing with a question which, we admit, was at that time in no sense a matter of prac- tical politics, was that if it ever did become a question of practical politics it would be a disagreeable one, and that it was a good thing, especially when one could further considerable national interests thereby, to deal with diplomatic points before they entered the disagree- able stage. We pointed out that it would be said in answer to our plea :—" The Americans have never officially asked us to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty. It will be time, and the proper time, to consider the matter when they do.' " We went on to challenge this notion, and to insist that, in truth, that would not be the proper time, for the Americans, being our children, and inheriting to the full our offensive and disagreeable ways in diplomacy, would be quite certain, when they did ask for the abro- gation of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, to do it in what would seem to us a thoroughly offensive and dis- agreeable way. " Our statesmen," we added, " ought to consider the matter coolly and in isolation, and if they come, as we believe they must, to the conclu- sions we have, they ought themselves to propose to the Americans the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, and the substitution for it of another treaty by which England and America shall mutually bind themselves to allow no Power except the United States of America to make or control any canal across the Isthmus, and to declare that if and when the United States shall make such canal, it shall be open on equal terms to the ships of all nations at peace with the United States."
Well, it seems as if what we thought likely eighteen months ago were going to happen, and as if great pressure were going to be put upon the Administration in Washing- ton to raise the problem of the abrogation of the Clayton- Bulwer Treaty in an offensive form. A very considerable agitation is arising in America over the Treaty, and the Senate is moving. It looks, indeed, as if three classes of people—i.e., those who genuinely want to see America get to work on a Nicaragua Canal, those who want to make political capital out of an attack upon the alleged selfish- ness and unfriendliness of England, and those who are anxious for ordinary party reasons to worry and, if possible, put Mr. McKinley's Administration in the wrong—were going to combine and make as much "to do" as possible in the Senate over the Treaty which stops the junction of the two oceans. Now, considering the great constitutional power and influence of the Senate in foreign affairs, and the determination of even the most reasonable Senators to assert themselves in international matters, it is very possible that the Administration will be forced into a sudden and apparently unfriendly demand for the abrogation of the Treaty. That being so, it seems to us even more necessary than it was eighteen months ago to take up the question of the Treaty, and to deal with it on broad and wise lines. There is still time to act before the Senate has committed itself to some " high-falutin'" rhetorical Resolution which will very naturally put up the backs of people here and give an opportunity for those who have never perhaps heard of the Treaty before, and have no notion of its real mean- ing, to declare that we are being squeezed unfairly and that we must not yield to pressure. Now, personally, we have the greatest respect for those who, at whatever the risks, refuse to yield to unfriendly pressure, and who, though they will yield a thing of their own free will, will not yield it to threats. But the • more strongly men feel this, and we believe most Englishmen feel it very strongly, the more essential is it that we should not be put into the ridiculous position of being unwilling to yield to pressure when the pressure is being exerted in regard to something which it is our own interests to do. We do not want, in fact, to quarrel with America over not doing something which is greatly to the advantage of the British Empire.
Before we go any further, let us say why we think it would be to our interests to have the Clayton- Bulwer Treaty abrogated. The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty is an instrument by which Great Britain and America agree that neither Power shall, by itself, make or exercise an exclusive controlling influence over any canal to be made across the Isthmus. The Treaty is, in fact, a self- denying ordinance. A private company was expected to make the canal, but neither England nor American was to obtain exclusive control either directly or indirectly. Tbat sounds excellent, and seems to contemplate friendly joint-action. We find, in fact, Lord Palmerston in 1850 talking quite enthusiastically of " the union of two Great Powers for the accomplishment of an object of such general utility," and Mr. Lawrence, the American Minister, declaring the canal would " do more to perpet
