Detailed explanation-1: -An example of positive punishment is adding more chores to the list when your child neglects their responsibilities. The goal is to encourage your child to tackle their regular chores to avoid a growing chore list. Negative punishment is when you take something away.
Detailed explanation-2: -In positive punishment, the goal is to decrease the behavior by presenting an aversive or unpleasant stimulus following a behavior. The key to positive punishment is that it must be paired with undesirable behavior to be effective. Positive discipline can be very effective in decreasing unwanted behaviors.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, spanking a child when he throws a tantrum is an example of positive punishment.
