Discussion: Consequences Versus Punishment

There are important differences between consequences and punishments. The most effective consequences are those that occur naturally, as logical results of cause and effect. Often, lifelong lessons are learned through consequences, such as when a child is told not to touch something because it is hot. The child touches it anyway, and the natural consequence is that it burns-a logical and natural consequence. Punishment, on the other hand, is administered by an authority figure, and involves some kind of unpleasantness. A main challenge in using punishment is that it is effective for a very short time, but does not usually result in long-term behavior change.

In schools, it is a very common practice for teachers to use punishment to try to manage children in their classrooms. Do a quick (5 minute) search online for information on punishments used in schools. List and discuss a few of the punishments that you found. Did it surprise you that all of the ones you found are considered punishment? Which types of punishment have you seen most frequently used in classrooms? For what behaviors? Select one common punishment you have seen and describe a way that a particular behavior might be addressed without the use of punishment.
