And our point is that if the child is doing something
you know to be dangerous punishment will teach him not to do that anymore.
If he's jumping a dirt hill that is right next to a busy road, then that is
inherently more dangerous than doing the same thing in a vacant lot. So
sometimes even if it is an accident some sort of consequences are
necessary.
Going back to the broken window...I *accidentally*
broke a window. I was punished for that. It was right for me to be
punished for that because I was doing something I shouldn't be
doing.
To be sure the punishment must fit the offense, but to
say in a blanket fashion that no punishment is necessary when something is an
accident doesn't make a lick of sense in my opinion. Even accidents carry
consequences.
