Don't Be Such a Softie

So I understand that the standard and most used form of discipline is to physically hit. Getting hit is uncomfortable, so this makes a kid realize that what they did was wrong, and that they wont do it again, so they can avoid this uncomfortable feeling. This is why I too, understand embarrassment on social media, to why people will do things online to embarrass their child as punishment. Before I elaborate, let me get one thing straight. There will be a type of punishment that will not work on certain people. Different people have different toleration levels and some can take the physical blow of a parent or guardian. Therefore that's why it is understandable that some people use social media to discipline their child. Some kids do care about how people see them and what goes on about them on the internet, so sometimes something as embarrassing will scar a child and make sure they understand not to do trouble again. I feel the same about the haircut. Sometimes mild punishments don't do anything. It'll happen and waste your time. Therefore, when people do these major punishments, it'll have a more long lasting effect, and only minimal work will have to be put in my the parent.
