Similarly, positive feedback is not a reward, but a natural and correct result of the right action. Children must understand that whatever the case may be, the parents\u2019 and the educators\u2019 attitudes toward them are only for their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How should this be done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The educator must create a situation where the child does not take the punishment as punishment, but as a kind of effect that will help him or her avoid a similar infraction in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is best to dedicate a special time during the week for discussing with the children everything that happened during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example: \u201cNow you deserve this and that punishment. Would it be right to punish you this way? What do you think? Will such an attitude help you watch over yourself better next time, and avoid breaking the boundaries of behavior that we determined? Or do you think that a different kind of punishment is required? Let\u2019s think together; after all, we are working on your ego together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the moment,\u201d you tell the child, \u201cYou are like an objective judge toward your ego. You and I are examining it from the side. What do you think we can do with this \u2018pest\u2019 inside of you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, we educate and raise the level of the \u201chuman being\u201d in the child. Otherwise, the child will misunderstand, become angry, and look for ways to escape punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we work correctly, the child will begin to see that we are treating him or her respectfully, as an adult\u2014trying to find the best solution together to cope with the child\u2019s ego.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children should be treated in such a way that they understand the connection between punishment, reward, and the act itself.
