Thanks for your comment. Shance-Light, disciplining a child is very delicate because, you can make the child worst, better, or uncontrollable if care is not taken.
And this is why in my class, I took my first week in class not punishing anyone.
When disciplining a child, I try first to understand the child, his attitudes, what irritates him, what makes him happy, etc. When I understand these things, I then can hold my cane, or decide a punishment or raise my voice, depending on the situation.

Hope I attempted your question...
