/^t/However, there are situations when some kind of punishment needs to be applied, but it does not have to be corporal punishment. Children are extremely sensitive as far as feelings and emotions are concerned and this can be well turned into a tool of quick and effective way of correction or punishment. Certainly, this method requires (from parents) some care and patience, but its effects are worth the efford. The parents need to devote much attention to making the child respect other people's feelings. This must be developed especially in very small children who never deliberately hurt anybody, especially their parents. The child learns to be, somehow, responsible for its deeds when it sees its bad behaviour makes its mother sad or angry. Unlike in the case of corporal punishment, parents evoke positive feelings in their offsprings and through emotions get closer to them. If used reasonably, this method of child correction can be effective and well substitute corporal punishment.
