CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Negative punishment is the opposite of positive punishment. It’s when you take something away from the child until the unwanted behavior changes. An easy example of negative punishment is taking away some sort of toy from the child if they are not staying on task or performing the preferred behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stealing Work Supplies After being caught, she is fired from her job. The employer is taking away the job (a desirable thing) for being caught stealing (behavior that needs modification). This is an example of negative punishment, because the worker will no longer have money to live and must find a new job.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, spanking a child when he throws a tantrum is an example of positive punishment. Something is added to the mix (spanking) to discourage a bad behavior (throwing a tantrum). On the other hand, removing restrictions from a child when she follows the rules is an example of negative reinforcement.
