Well, it depends on the kind of punishment you mete to them. So far as the punishment is not the type that would dampen their spirits, it is okay to punish children when they err. At least it will teach them the virtue of being accountable for their actions. As someone who was shaped by my parent's discipline, I will continue with that tradition.

Yes, Disciplining children for mischievous antic is indeed better for their future, but we have to understand that the word disciplining doesn't mean having or inflicting pain in our children, there are other ways to discipline children.

I have mixed feelings about that. I mean, for sure children need to be disciplined because in the end it is beneficial for their future. Letting any kind of person (child or adult) so anything and everything without a price is just wrong and sends the worst message to humanity.
How you discipline a child, however, is what I find myself wondering about. I saw many mothers discipline in different ways, but I still haven't found one way that I deem "right".
So I guess it's a big question mark.

Discipling children when they do wrong is good for their present and their future. There is a saying that leave the rod and spoil the child. A child not trained today would become a shame to one tomorrow.

Disciplining children for mischievous antics can be beneficial for their future development. It helps establish boundaries, teaching them what is acceptable and what is not. Discipline also aids in developing self-control and impulse management, which are crucial skills for success in various areas of life. It teaches responsibility by making children understand the consequences of their actions. Effective discipline methods promote empathy and respect, as they involve discussions about the impact of behavior on others. Discipline can also enhance resilience by teaching children to cope with setbacks and challenges. However, discipline should be approached with care, tailored to the child's age and developmental stage. Harsh or abusive disciplinary practices should be avoided. Discipline should be balanced with love, understanding, and open communication to create a supportive environment for a child's growth.
Sincerely,
