Positive and negative reinforcers

Which would you prefer when disciplining a child, punishment or reinforcement? Many psychologist would choose reinforcement, why? Because most kids in the now generation look for punishment, if you were to discipline a child off of bad behavior with punishment the child would still act out of sorts; if you were to reinforce the children behavior every time he or she did what they were suppose to, then the child would be looking for primary reinforcement or positive reinforcement, these reinforcements shape the child's behavior and how he or she might behave in the near future.
