To think parents who “don’t believe in punishment” are raising kids who’ll be future problems for everyone else?

The world will say no - eventually.

If a young teen says they are going to a friend's house but it turns out they went somewhere else, a parent might choose to restrict where they allow that child to go or only allow them out if they can confirm where they are e.g. by speaking to friend's parent. This is a consequence of the loss of trust resulting from the reen not being honest. There's a link between the misdemeanor and the action by the parent.
Punishment would be stopping their allowance for a month. There isn't a link between the misdemeanor and the action from the parent.

Punishment is from the word ‘punitive’ - literally hitting them where it hurts… causing pain to teach a lesson - often being quite cruel…

discipline is ‘discipleship’ which is a form of teaching - Leading by example, helping guide behaviour by showing / telling / modelling / reasoning .

kids who never have had discipline are usually out of control - they have not learnt boundaries / or who have never been taught how to behave are not pleasant to be around - but I strongly believe that you teach best by discipleship - by setting boundaries and teaching with love than you do by punishing wrong behaviour with harsh punishment and by hurting / humiliating children into submission.

children brought up solely with punishments are usually either angry or resentful or subdued and damaged emotionally as the emphasis is on trying to correct negative behaviour by using pain and crushes them.

loving boundaries, where children learn right from wrong and are guided in how to behave is definitely the way for me and not dishing out cruel / nasty punishments in the hope that it will subdue their behaviour

Discipline and punishment are not synonymous. I am firmly on the side of discipline which is firm but fair snd guiding them - but not on using punishment as I just don’t think being shamed is the way to learn.

The worst thing is not only do they not punish or discipline their children but expect the rest of the world to go along with them, how very dare a teacher introduce my darling to No and Don't!

I had no idea parents had stopped punishing their kids. Now I know. Blimey.
