Punishment does not "erase" an undesirable habit; it merely suppresses it. Sometimes punishment produces unwanted side effects. Punishment is often ineffective unless the punishment is given immediately after the response and each time the response was made. Children are more likely to behave aggressively if frequently punished.

  1. Punishment may only suppress unwanted behavior temporarily without addressing the root cause.
  2. It can create a negative environment that leads to fear, resentment, and hostile reactions.
  3. There is a risk of the punished individual becoming more defiant or developing a sense of injustice, which can escalate the problem behavior.
