Castigo E Consequência - Punishment and consequence English subt. psicóloga daniella freixo de faria

CHILD'S TALK Daniella Freixo de Faria Hello, my name is Daniella F. de Faria. Today we're talking about the difference between punishment and consequence. Punishment, in fact, makes children feel like they are in a dead end. It's like they were sentenced. When the child does something wrong and we punish them, our actions usually come loaded with anger. We want to punish them. It's like: "Stay there!" After the child finishes doing their time, they are even angrier and more rebellious. When we show them the consequences of the situation, the child sees the direct result of their actions, and they learn that every action has a result. So, in the light of that new meaning of consequence, something great happens. First, our intention changes. Instead of being loaded with anger and annoyance, we start applying a direct response to the child's attitude. Our intention is not to punish the child, but to educate them. That's where something magical happens: The child stops rebelling against us and starts seeing they are the ones who will feel those results. That's the most important part of the process.
