There was a case at my last place of employment, a teacher had kept a 13year old in solitary for a whole day after according to him “she had been severally warned about her bullying behaviors”. The girl’s parents apparently got so furious and it was all dirty for the teacher. Personally, I didn’t see anything and in what the teacher did because the girl in question was a bully herself.
Lol…the question answered itself already I think. Why would someone punish my child in a way I can’t? In short, no one asides myself can punish my child. When my son was around 6/7/8 years, I remember I was always having issue with my husband whenever he tried punishing our son. He used to say it’s because he’s our only child, I don’t believe so. I believe punishment is not the effective way to train a child and God forbid I mess my child up with my own hands, nor would I allow any outsider do that.
Depending what you mean by punish. If my kids are in someone else’s care I expect them to be looked after in the same care I would give. I don’t yell at my kids and I don’t beat them. I have no problem giving them a talking to and taking their gadgets away. If I am there hanging out with someone and my kids are doing something I am not noticing at the moment, I hope someone will step up and tell my kids what they are doing is not what they should be doing. I don’t get in a huff or puff about it. I thank the person. My kids are extremely well behaved and truly rarely do stuff they aren’t supposed to. I want them to respect adults and listen to adults as authority in a reasonable way.
However if I see an adult trying to go corporal punishment on my kids I will not stand for it. They deserve respect as much as adults. They need to be taught how to handle situation in an appropriate manner and I have no problem teaching an adult what that means too.
