The use of physical punishment can be replaced with other forms of negative reinforcement.

Explanation:

The use of physical punishment for children with unruly behavior has a very bad effect in their overall mental condition and it is not advised.

This is because of certain reasons.

Displacement: the displacement of trauma according to psychoanalytic causes the child to feel the pain again and again throughout their life.

Classical conditioning: this means that the kid will associate physical pain with being subservient and it would hurt them in the future.

The better way to approach punishments is actually enforcement.

The child can be given positive reinforcement when they do something good by gifts and other things and can be deprived of said gifts or given smaller punishments like being locked or being cornered in terms of negative enforcement.
